Ladbroke / Lodbroc / Lodbroch

There are seven entries [variant spelling] for Ladbroke in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP4158/ladbroke/] [accessed 29 January 2015], one of which, in the lordship of William Lovet, and Hugh of Grandmesnil its tenant in chief, mentions a priest, but not a church in it, though there probably was one there; another entry appears in the lordship of a priest at the time of the survey, with Thorkil of Warwick as its tenant in chief. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes; "In 1086 there was 'a priest' among the tenants on Hugh de Grentemaisnil's estate, [...] and 'a priest', possibly identical, held 1 virgate under Turchil [cf. supra] The 13th-century church, which probably consisted of a chancel and nave, was entirely rebuilt in the 14th-century with north and south aisles and west tower. All that remains of the earlier church is the lower portion of the chancel. Late in the 15th century the nave and chancel were raised and clearstory windows inserted. It was restored and reroofed in 1876 by Sir Gilbert Scott. [...] The font, placed near the south door, is modern." English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP4134658897] (1967) reports a 19th-century font here. [NB: we have no information on the font from the Domesday-time church here].
