Hinxton No. 1 / Hestitone / Histetone / Histetune

There are four entries for Hinxton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL4945/hinxton/] [accessed 24 May 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The British Museum manuscript catalogue (1844+) records three sketches of this font in the BM collections: 1)"Sketch, in pen and ink, of the square font in Hinxton Church; drawn by James Essex: 6 in. x 4 in. [Add. 6768. p. 85]"; 2)Sketch, in pen and ink, of the square font in Hinxton Church; copied from Essex by the Rev. Thoma Kerrich: 6 in. x 4 in. [Add. 6736. fol. 88]"; 3)Sketches, in pen and ink, of the large square font and the top of the spire of Hinxton Church; drawn by Samuel Lysons, Esq.: 6 in. x 4 in. [Add. 9461. fol. 50]". Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period, a noteworthy example. The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: TL4970745175] (1967) reports a "Font C14, square clunch bowl, with corner shafts and scalloped cap on octagonal stem." Noted in Pevsner (1970): "Font. Square, Norman, with primitive angle shafts." The Victoria County History (Cambridge..., vol. 6, 1978) notes: "A church at Hinxton existed by 1092, when Picot the sheriff granted it to his newly founded house of canons in Cambridge, later Barnwell priory. [...] Parts of the nave and west tower survive from a late-12th-century building"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry. Described and illustrated in The CRSBI (2016) reports: "a square bowl mortared to a 13thc. octagonal support with an octagonal bell capital. The bowl is carved from a single block, and has fat integral angle shafts with double scallop capitals."
