Font Notes:
There is an entry for Kineton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP3351/kineton/] [accessed 8 January 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 5: 1949) notes: "The church of Kineton, with its lands, tithes, and 'church-scot' (cerchez) was granted to Kenilworth Priory by Henry [i.e., 1100-1135] [...] The west tower is said to date from 1315, but its west doorway is probably earlier and its windows later. The remainder of the building contains no ancient features. It was partly rebuilt by Sanderson Miller of Radway in 1775, [...] when the transepts and aisle were added, and again largely renovated during the period 1877–89 [...] The font and pulpit are modern." English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP3357151080] (1967) reports a "C19 octagonal font" in this church. The Victorian font here consists of an octagonal basin with quatrefoiled motifs on the sides, on an octagonal stem with trefoiled windows on the sides, and a splaying lower base, also octagonal.
