There is an entry for this Bradley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK2245/bradley/] [accessed 15 August 2018] but it mentions neither dleric nor church in it. Paley (1844) describes and illustrates a font here: cylindrical basin has blind arcade of trefoil arches with a fleur-de-lis motif in each spandrel. The base is of the clustered-pillar type (eight columns) and rests on a plain octagonal plinth. "It much resembles the one at Ashborne [i.e., Ashbourne] in the same county [and] its date is about the middle of the thirteenth century" (ibid.) [NB: the Ashbourne basin has pointed arches]. "The rim has received considerable injury, evidently by forcing off the staple and hinge, otherwise the Font is in fair preservation." (ibid.) Described in Kelly's Directory of 1881: "fine circular font, the shaft of which has all the appearance of the upper part of a clustered pier, the bowl, divided into eight compartments by round-headed trefoil arches, resting on the abaci". Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Early English period. Described and illustrated in Bond (1908). In Tyrrell-Green (1928) as Early English with a clustered-columns base. In Pevsner (1978): "Font. The bowl octagonal with trefoil arches and fluers-de-lis between (cf. Bakewell). The foot of eight filleted shafts clustered together. C13; much restored." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK2234145970] reports: "Font, a circular bowl with bold trefoil motif and fleur de lys between, on a base of clustered filleted shafts."
