Font Notes:
There is an entry for this Harrington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SP7780/harrington/] [accessed 15 February 2025] but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SP7783880574] reports: "Church. Early and mid C14, C15, tower 1809 [...] Octagonal font on round stem with 3 round flanking shafts" but it does not give or suggest a date for that font, probably modern [NB: the church fabric goes back to the 14th century, but we have no information of its font of that date]
