There is an entry for this Naunton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO9652/naunton-beauchamp/] [accessed 15 October 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Miller (1890) writes: "The Church of St. Bartholomew was probably rebuilt by Urso, as a bear is carved on the buttresses of the tower [...] The tower is of the 14th century"; Miller does not mention a font in this church, but his list of recorded rectors goes back to "Andreas of Leycester", in 1269, which indicates a church here at the time. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "The church, with the exception of the 14thcentury tower, was pulled down and rebuilt above the plinths in 1896, but some of the old work was re-used. [...] The font has a massive octagonal bowl and a moulded base." In Brooks & Pevsner (2007): "Massive octagonal bowl, perhaps C14."
