Font Notes:
There is an entry for Wappenbury [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP3769/wappenbury/] [accessed 11 February 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church here. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes: "The church was built in the 13th century and then consisted of chancel and nave. Early in the 14th century a west tower was built on the south side of the nave, together with a south aisle and porch. The nave and south aisle were completely 'restored' c. 1825 (fn. 61) but were pulled down in 1886 and rebuilt in the character of 14th-century work, and at the same time a south porch and transept were added and the whole church re-roofed. [...] The tower [,,,] has a modern tiled floor with three steps down into the aisle. Placed on the top step is a modern plain tapered circular stone font." The font is not mentioned in the English Heritage listing. There is no church or chapel recorded in Eathorpe in the sources consulted.
