Belton / Beleton / Beletuna / Belton nr. Gt. Yarmouth / Bolton

There are two entries for this Belton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TG4802/belton/] [accessed 21 February 2023] neither of which reports cleric or church in it. Suckling (1846-1848) writes: "There does not appear to have been a church at Belton when Domesday was compiled [...] The church must [...] have been built as early as the reign of Henry I., who died in a.d. 1135 [...] The present edifice bears no marks of very early architecture, and may be referred to the middle of the fourteenth century. [...] octangular font of hard stone, sculptured with pointed arches, and raised on a shaft of two divisions". In Parker (1855) as "an octagon, with niches". Tyrrell-Green (1928) writes: "The octagonal form persisted in fonts of the same class in the thirteenth century, with the change that in the Early English style pointed arches take the place of rounded ones in the shallow incised arcading". This font is one of them. Noted in Leach (1975) as a font made of Purbeck marble, Polygonal I Type (Octagonal): "the subdiary shafts were renewed in 1849" [source given: The Revd. T.G.F. Howes].
