There is an entry for Leverton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF3947/leverton/] [accessed 20 August 2022]; it reports a priest and a church in it. Baptismal font described in Gough (1792): "octagon, the sides adorned with niches and a border of quatrefoils in rounds, and the shaft has niches." In Allen (1833) after Gough. Bond (1908) does not describe the font itself, but cites archival sources related to the presence of a baptismal font and work related to it and its cover as early as the end of the 15th century, which accounts for the font's earlier date: "At Leverton there was paid in 1498 'for stabelles and hoder things to ye font. iijd.'; in 1503 'for a lokke makyng to ye font, iid.'; in 1506 'for a loke makyng to hyng of ye font, id.; in 1536 'to Karver of Boston whan he cam to se ye fonte, iiijd.'; and 'to ye same for makyng a covering to the fonte, 5s.'" Noted in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989): "Font. Octagonal, Perp[endicular], each panel with four small, very slim arches and four small quatrefoils over (cf. Frieston)." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF3999247887] notes: "Parish church. C14, C15, late C15, restored 1892 [...] Late C14 octagonal font with tail trefoiled panels with quatrefoil frieze to rim, with matching stem and bell moulded base on 3 octagonal steps."
