Prescott nr. Cheltenham / Prescot

**********NOT CLEAR WHETHER THIS IS THE SAME AS THE CHURCH LISTED IN STANLEY PONTLARGE********* No individual entry found for Prescott in the Domesday survey. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 6, 1965) notes: "Prescott was presumably once part of the large parish of Winchcombe. In 1175 a chapel at Prescott was confirmed to Winchcombe Abbey as a dependency of the parish church there [...] It is not clear whether Winchcombe or Tewkesbury monks, if either, served the chapel at Prescott; no document has been found giving evidence of the chapel between 1175 and 1570, when it had gone out of use and its site alone was mentioned. [...] The site of the chapel was between Chapel Close Farm and Manor Farm." The entry for this chapel in Historic England [Listing NGR: SO9992430202] notes: "Chapel of Ease. C12, altered C15 and 1860-1, by Thomas Collins of Tewkesbury. [...] Possibly C12 limestone font with moulded circular base and an octagonal bowl, possibly recut, towards the west end of the nave." [NB: we have no information on a baptismal font of that chapel/church].
