Font Notes:
There is an entry for Wintringham [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE8873/wintringham/] [accessed 15 September 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Glynne's 22 April 1842 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) notes: "The font is a cylinder attached to a southern pier." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. Home (1908) notes "the plain circular font" of the Norman period in this church. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE8871973177] reports a "Norman tub font with tall octagonal cover painted with winged cherubs and dated 1736." The entry in the CRSBI (2018) reports "a capacious plain cylindrical font which is genuinely ‘Norman’ [...] A plain cylindrical font, wider than high. The height of the cylinder has been extended by a later base layer of the same diameter; there is a wider platform below that [...] The bowl of the font is wide enough to crouch in."
