Scene Description: Source caption: "St Peter's Church, Normanby-le-Wold. There has been a worshipping community on this site for many centuries and the Domesday Book mentions a church at Normanby although today there is no trace of what was presumably an Anglo Saxon building. The present building was probably built in the 13th Century and the earliest parish registers, now held in the Lincoln County Archives, date back to 1561".

There are four entries for Normanby [-le-Wold] [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF1294/normanby-le-wold/] [accessed 27 December 2018], one of which, in the tenancy of Ivo Tallboys in 1086, reports two churches in it. Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989) note: "Font. Perp[endicular] (Dec[orated]?) drum, with a wavy band, a band of saltire crosses, and between them a wide band of quatrefoils." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF1229994738] notes: "Parish church. Early C13, early C14, restored 1868 by James Fowler. [...] C14 octagonal stone font on C19 moulded base. Panels contain quatrefoils with ribbon and diamond decoration." The basin, which appears monolithic and octagonal, is mounted on a later base that resembles the base of a pillar; it is raised on an even later plinth. The flat wooden lid is octagonal, reinforced with metal decorations ,a d handles of the same material.
