Bisbrooke / Bisbrok / Bissebrok / Bitlesbroch / Bitlesbrok / Butlesbrok / Butlisbroke / Bytlesbrok / Pysbroke

There are two entries for Bisbrooke [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8899/bisbrooke/] [accessed 20 July 2015], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Rutland, vol. 2, 1935) notes: "Robert, the son of Viel Palfrey, granted the church of Bisbrooke in 1110 to Osbert, Prior of Daventry, and the monks there [...] The church [...] was rebuilt in 1871 and, though incorporating a little old work from the structure then pulled down, is a modern building in the style of the 14th century. The old church consisted of a chancel, clearstoried nave of three bays, north aisle, and south porch, and had a bell-cote over the west gable. It appears to have been mainly of 13th-century date, but new windows had been inserted in the 14th century, and ten years before its demolition the building was described as being in a very neglected state. [...] The font and pulpit and all the fittings are modern." The modern font is in the general style of the 14th-century font design, with deeply carved panels on the sides.
