There is entry for Wysall [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK6027/wysall/] [accessed 21 July 2016]; it mentions a church in it. The Thoroton Excursion of the Spring of 1902 noted: "The ancient font is, I think, early English". Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907), in Cox (1912) and in Guilford (1927) as a baptismal font of the Early English period [NB: Cox (1912) gives the date as ca. 1200 and notes it is raised on five shafts]. Cox & Harvey (ibid.) noted a 1660s font cover as well. The basin is cauldron-shaped, with a moulding at the upper rim, otherwise plain; the inner well is lead-lined; the central shaft and the four outer colonnettes have moulded capitals and bases, though the colonnettes may be modern replacements; on a round lower base and a small square plinth. Noted and illustrated in the Southwell & Nottingham Church History Project [http://southwellchurches.nottingham.ac.uk/wysall/hfitting.php] [accessed 21 July 2016]. [NB: a church existed in nearby Thorpe-in-the-Glebe, the remains of which are now part of the Churchside Farm. Pevsner & Williamson (1979) note that this church was "still occasionally used in 1743", but we do not know whether a font existed in it or not].
