Withybrook

No entry found for Withybrook in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes: "Withybrook is said to have originally ranked as a chapelry of Monks Kirby, [...] though in 1205 Nicholas son of Liulf was, at least temporarily, successful in his claim to present to the church. [...] The church [...] was rebuilt in the 14th century when the aisles were added. The only evidence of an earlier church is a late-12thcentury font. Late in the 15th century the tower was built, the aisle being widened to accommodate it, the chapel and clearstory added, and the chancel partly rebuilt. It was restored in 1821 and again in 1890. [...] at the western end [of the south aisle] a badly mutilated late12th-century stone font with a circular basin on a shaft with a moulded base standing on a square pedestal; the shaft is modern." English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP4369584136] (1960) reports: "font, possibly late C12, has round basin, moulded foot and square base."
