There is an entry for Naseby [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SP6878/naseby/] [accessed 16 February 2025]; it mentions a priest in it. Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a noteworthy example of Norman font. Noted in Mee (1945): "In the nave is the arcaded Norman font, all that is left of the Norman church." Described and illustrated in The Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland [www.crsbi.ac.uk/ed/nh/naseb/index.htm] with date to the second half of the 12th century; the CRSBI further notes that "the cylindrical pedestal and moulded base are modern." The basin sides are decorated with an arcade of round arches each of whcih houses one of a variety of motifs (discs and/or wheels, flowers, etc.). Geldart (1884?) mentions that the rose carved on this font "shows, I think, almost the earliets rose, dating as it does from the twelfth century" [NB: this probably Geldart's re-writing of Edward Young Cox's book].
