Church Notes: The Gentleman's Magazine (1810, vol. 80-ii, opp. p. 9) has a drawing of the chapel done in 1806 by "W.A.", who is also responsible for the brief description of this chapel; there is, however, no mention of the font in it.
There is an entry for Stuntney [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL5578/stuntney/] [accessed 11 Aprl 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Described and illustrated with an engraving by J. Basire in Repton (1812) as a baptismal font of the Norman period [NB: Repton uses English monarchy chronology and gives the time period between the Conquest (1066) and the reign of Henry II (1154+)]; in Basire's engraving the font consists of a round basin the sides of which are decorated with thick ribs, raised on a plain cylindrical stem and a moulded lower base, also round.. Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period, a noteworthy example. Pevsner (1970), however, writes: "Font. Circular. Called C12 by the VCH [Victoria History of the Counties...] But is it not C18 or at least completely re-tooled in the C18? It has a heavy thick fluting which may be a rustic version of a familiar Wrenian and Georgian motif. C17 font cover." The entry in The CRSBI (2016) notes: "The font [...] is surely 18thc. as Pevsner suggests".
