Stockton nr. Rugby

No entry found in the Domesday survey for this Stockton. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes: "The church was given to Hertford Priory, probably by Walter de Somerville, whose wife Cecily (de Limesi) was a descendant of the founder, in the reign of Henry II [i.e., 1154-1189] [...] Except for the 15th-century tower and the 14th-century south wall of the chancel the church is modern. The nave and north aisle were built in 1863, the south aisle in 1873, and the chancel was partly rebuilt in 1809. [...] The font is placed near the west pillar of the north arcade and is modern, on a 14th-century base and probably a copy of the original basin. It is octagonal with moulded trefoil panels on each face and floriated crosses on each of the angles, resting on floriated stops and carried down by a fluted splay to a circular stem having a moulded capital and base." English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP4376663606] (1867) reports a "C19 polygonal font on orginal moulded base" in this church.
