There are four entries for Persore [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO9445/pershore/] [accessed 15 October 2014], one of which, in the lordship of Westminster St. Peter's abbey, reports a church in it. Miller (1890) writes: "The Parish Church is that of St. Andrew's. [...] The church is an old building shewing signs of Norman work. The font is modern." The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "The earliest portion of the existing building is the north arcade, which dates from the close of the 12th century. ", but the font is reported as modern.
