We found no entry for this Sheldon in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 4, 1947) notes: "The nave with its fine roof dates from about 1330. The north aisle was added a little later, perhaps early in the second half of the century, but with the chancel, which may have been earlier than the nave, it was rebuilt in 1867. [...] The font is of the 15th century. It has an octagonal bowl with angle rolls and cinquefoiled triangular-headed panels inclosing blank shields. The chamfered lower edge also has shields and edge-rolls. The stem is plain, the base chamfered." [NB: one of the sides of the font is plain and was never carved]
