There are two entries for Boothby [Pagnell] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK9730/boothby-pagnell/] [accessed 12 November 2018], one of which reports a church in it. Fowler (1876a) writes: "The font is of the tub form, and has a bold embattled device worked upon its lower portion." Listed in Cox (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. In Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989): "Norman, tub-shaped. Flat intersecting arches and a kind of crenellation below." This same source further notes that the font cover is from the 1896-1897 restoration by J.L. Pearson. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK9718030835] notes; "Parish church. Early C12, late C12, C13, C14, C15, restored 1896 by J. L. Pearson. [...] Tapering sided tub font with blank arcaded intersecting decoration having ornate domed C19 wooden font cover. "
