There are two entries for Campsall [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE5414/campsall/] [accessed 8 February 2017], but they mention neither priest nor church in it. Glynne's 28 January 1856 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font has a plain octagonal bowl on stem of like form." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. Morris (1932) notes a "vaulted baptistery at W. of S. aisle", but does not mention a font. The Commanet web site [www.commanet.org] illustrates the font in Campsall St. Mary Magdalene's in 1908, a modern font [i.e., Victorian+], not the Perpendicular font noted in Cox & Harvey [cf. supra]. Pevsner (1986) mentions neither. The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2016) notes: "A tub in the churchyard with side 0.74m and height of 0.61m and a stone bowl in the Vicarage garden, approximate diameter 0.95m, height 0.35m, are not now thought to be of interest to this Corpus." [NB: one of them could be the basin of a font; the other appears to be the base of a cross or similar].
