There is an entry for Copgrove [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE3463/copgrove/] [accessed 17 January 2020]; it reports a church in it. Glynne's 21 November 1860 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font is a circular jar on a square plinth, having the tongue-like figures at the angles." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. Morris (1932), however, notes: "The base of the font has cable moulding, and is probably contemporary with the church" [i.e., Norman]. The present font has reused the old base, but the rest, basin, stem and plinth, are modern replacements. The base itself is has an octagonal rope moulding at the neck where it meets the new stem; thick moulding below, also octagonal, the lower volume square with spurs (?) at the angles. The old basin, a plain round tub, lies disused inside the church, next to a wall-mounted stone stoup. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE3463963243] reports the church as "C12 and C18, restored 1889" but mentions no font in it.
