Merriott / Meriet

There are two entries for Merriott [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/ST4412/merriott/] [accessed 13 February 2018], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Somerset, vol. 4, 1978) notes: "A parson and chaplain of Merriott occur between 1171 and 1192 [...] The parish church of ALL SAINTS, so dedicated by the mid 13th century, [...] is built of rubble and ashlar and has a chancel with north and south chapels, aisled nave with south porch, and west tower. The earliest surviving feature is the tower which has thick walls tapering externally. Its date is not certain but its arch may be of the later 13th century"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: ST4427212844] reports a "C19 font in south aisle".
