Haslingfield No. 1 / Haslingefeld / Haslingefelde

There are six entries for Haslingfield [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL4052/haslingfield/] [accessed 16 May 2016], none of which mentions no church in it. Paley's Guide (1844) notes: "The font is plain octagonal, with a kneeling stone, the same date as the nave" [Decorated?]. Listed in Tyrrell-Green (1928) as one in a very large group of baptismal fonts of the 14th or 15th century that are plain octagonal with straightsided basins. Font and cover are illustrated in the context of the church interior in the RCHM (Cambridgeshire, 1968). Pevsner (1970) does not mention the font itself but writes on the cover: "Jacobean, octagonal, with original (even if renewed) paint." The Victoria County History (Cambridgeshire, vol. 5, 1973) notes: "Probably before 1100 Roger de Somery gave the church of Haslingfield to St. Mary's Abbey, York [...] Only loose stonework and parts of the chancel walls survive from the 12th-century church [...] The rebuilt church was reconsecrated in 1352, (fn. 365) but it was not until the tower was finished later in the century that the medieval church was structurally complete. [...] The font is 14th-century and has a 17th-century wooden cover."
