Great Bowden / Bowden Magna / Bugedone

There are two entries for [Great] Bowden [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP7488/great-bowden/] [accessed 3 September 2015], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. A font here is noted and illustrated in Upcott (1818). Poole (1842) notes three heptagonal fonts (Elmeswell in Suffolk, Bowden Mayne in Licolnshire and Bowden Magna in Leicestershire), though he remarks that they are not "worthy of special notice". Listed in Paley (1844) as a heptagonal baptismal font. In Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of heptagonal shape from the Perpendicular period. Bond (1908) mentions a heptagonal font in this town. [Bond et al. use "Great Bowden"; Cox & Harvey use the same form in one entry (p. 206), and "Bowden Magna" in the other (p. 165) -- modern usage prefers "Great Bowden"]. The Victoria County History (Leicestershire, vol. 5, 1964) notes: "The church at Great Bowden is first mentioned in about 1220 [...] The oldest parts of the fabric date from the second half of the 13th century [...] The font was replaced [...] but the carved oak font cover of two tiers, dating from the 17th century, was retained." The font cover alone is noted in Pevsner (1984): "Jacobean or Carolean and very handosme. Octagonal with pointed roof. Two tiers, the lower with square little pillars set diagonally, the upper with turned balusters carrying arches".
