No entry for Foscott found in the Domesday survey. Sheahan (1862) notes: "The font is small and plain." The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 4, 1927) notes: "Presentation to the church at Foscott was made in 1220 by Walter de la Hay, lord of Foscott [...] The church was apparently built in the middle of the 12th century [...] in 1887 the church was restored", but does not mention a font in it. [NB: the font noted in Sheahan [cf. supra] is probably a later one; we have no information on the medieval font]
