There are three entries for [Little] Kyre and Kyre [Magna] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/little-kyre-and-kyre-magna/] [accessed 24 October 2014], neither of which mentions a cleric or church in it. Miller (1890) notes the church as "chiefly of the 13th century", but mentions no font in it. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "Kyre was originally a chapel of Tenbury [...] The nave and chancel date from the early years of the 12th century and are remarkable in being built out of line with each other, the chancel inclining considerably to the north. [...] The font has a plain circular cup-shaped bowl, which probably dates from the 12th century, but the face has been considerably chipped; the round stem and square base are probably modern. In Brooks & Pevsner (2007): "Small round bowl with short stem, probably C13." Little Kyre was a hamlet of Magna Kyre without a noted church in it.
