There are three entries for Hutoft [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TF5176/huttoft/] [accessed 25 November 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. A font here is noted in Tyack (1899). Cox & Harvey (1907) describe this early 15th century font as a good example of the profusion in carving typical of this period and style; the basin is octagonal and its panels are filled with figures representing the Holy Trinity, Mary and Child, the twelve Apostles, two and two; the shaft is also octagonal and has eight figures in niches, one mutilated; the others could be St. Gregory, St. Guthlac, St. Ethelburga, St. Richard of Chichester, St. Mary Magdalene and St. Paul; the base contains four large figures of the Evangelists' symbols. Noted in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989): "Perp[endicular]. On the bowl the twelve apostles in pairs of two plus the Virgin and the Trinity. The apostles have famously sprouting hair from their heads and are the brothers of those of the font formerly at Covenham St Bartholomew [fn: "Now removed to Manchester"]. Against the underside of the bowl angel busts with spread wings, against the stem saints, against the foot, placed in the diagonals, the signs of the four evangelists." On-site notes: demi-angels hold blank shields on the underside of the bowl; on the panels around the side of the basin the following figures are depicted in clockwise order, starting on the east side: Virgin and Child, SS Simon and Jude, SS James the Less and Batholomew; SS John the Evangelist and Andrew; The Holy Trinity; SS Peter and James the Great; SS Philip and Matthias; SS Thomas and Matthew. On the pedestal or stem, the figures are, (clockwise from east side): first figure too worn to be identified; abbess; a bishop, Boniface or Guthlac; the next two are disfigured; St. Augustine of Hippo; St. Mary Magdalene; St. Paul. Around the lower base are St. Mark the Lion; St. John the Eagle; St. Luke the Ox (damaged) and St. Matthew the Angel. The tall wooden cover has two volumes: the lower is octagonal, with vertical sides ornamented with Ogee quatrefoil windows above Ogee trefoil arches; the upper volume is pyramidal (octagonal) and begins at the bottom with a chamfer ornamented with Tudor roses followed upwards by a crown-like rim; the pyramid has cusped arris and a Latin cross finial.
