We found no entry for Allesley in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes: "The 12th-century arcade on the south side is all that remains of the church built c. 1130. [...] A modern stone and marble font stands opposite the south door and beside the round 12th-century pier. [...] The registers [...] of baptisms [begin] in 1569, but the earliest volume is imperfect." The present font is modern, as indicated above, and has the symbols of the four Evangelists in large medallions on the sides.
