Kington nr. Worcester / Chintune / Keynton / Kineton / Kinton / Kyneton / Kynton

There is an entry for this Kington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO9955/kington/] [accessed 18 September 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Miller (1890) mentions a 12th-century window in the north wall of the chancel of this church, and an aperture on the south side that "may be Saxon"; he mentions no font in it. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913) notes: "The first mention of the church occurs in 1225 [...] The octagonal bowl of the font has been recut." Brooks & Pevsner (2007) report a "Big plain octagonal bowl, perhaps C13." Noted and illustrated in the Parish website [www.cofe-inkberrow.org.uk/st_james.shtml] [accessed 27 May 2010]: "in the tower is the Early-English font, octagonal shaped, but recut." English Heritage (1965) reports: "The plain octagonal font is on a square base, medieval but not precisely dateable".
