Great Abington / Abintone

There are two entries for [Great and Little] Abington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/great-and-little-abington/] [accessed 17 May 2016], neither of which mentions a church in it. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Early English period here. Paley (1844) notes a font here "partly built into the pier of the belfry arch." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. Bond (1908) quotes Paley's description verbatim. The Victoria County History (Cambridge..., vol. 6, 1978) notes: "Great Abington had its own church by 1217 [...] The fabric of the nave and chancel is early-13th-century at latest. Several lancets remain, including some small ones in the north wall of the chancel set in deep round-headed embrasures, perhaps of an earlier period. [...] The font is early, with a plain round top on an octagonal base." [NB: actually it is the other way around: the basin is octagonal, the pedestal base cylindrical]. Stockner (1997) gives the date as 12th or 13th century. The wooden font cover is dated to the Jacobean period in Joan Pearson's 'Great Abington' [www.members.aol.com/jimmynors/abington/greatab_main.htm].
