There is an entry for Hawerby [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF2697/hawerby/] [accessed 23 May 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Bond (1908) describes a Post-Reformation insert in the font, though not the font itself: "At Hawerby, inside the font is an ordinary pewter basin still in use for baptism; it is 3 1/2 inches high, 3 inches across the bottom, and six inches across the rim. The rim is horizontal and octagonal and bears the inscription 'Parish of Hawerby, Co. Lincoln, 1820.'' [NB: Bond gives the county as 'Humberside' -- it is now, 2007, in Lincolnshire]. The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: TF2608297596] notes: "Parish church, made redundant 1978. C12 - C13, with later demolition of south aisle. Restorations of 1846. [...] restored cylindrical Norman font with carved band of saltire crosses." The font is noted in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989): "Font. The upper part Norman, drum-shaped, with a lozenge frieze." [NB: Pevsner & al. (ibid.) note that this church was "made redundant in 1978, and now is in private ownership." -- The FLICKR web site [www.flickr.com/photos/vitrearum/347972297] [accessed 8 Februay 2007] shows a photograph by Vitrearum of the interior of the church taken on December 29, 2006 -- a view of what appears to be the west end of the nave: there is no font in view and the interior is a shambles: "sold to a local architect for conversion to a studio. He has done nothing with it in nearly thirty years and this is the present condition"]
