Wibtoft / Wibetot

There are two entries for Wibtoft [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP4787/wibtoft/] [accessed 11 February 2015], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes: "The chapel of Wibtoft dates back to medieval times; it has always been served from the mother church of Claybrooke (Leics.), the advowson of which was in the hands of Nuneaton Priory up to the Reformation [...] The church of ST. MARY [...] is small, consisting of a chancel (15 ft. 3 in. by 13 ft.) and nave (40 ft. by 17 ft. 10 in.) with tiled roofs. In the 19th century it was rebuilt in red brick on the sandstone plinth of the earlier church [...] except at the west end, where the lower half of the original wall, of alternate courses of ashlar and rubble, has been retained. The arch of the original pointed doorway which was in the south wall has been rebuilt into the west wall on red brick jambs"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry. English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP4798887637] (1960) reports: "Octagonal stone font, chamfered to square base, has blind quatrefoils to alternate sides." [NB: not known whether this font is late-medieval or, more likely, Victorian].
