Wing nr. Oakham / Wenge / Weyng / Whenge / Wieng / Wyenge / Wynge

No entry for this Wing found in the Domesday survey. Tyrrell-Green (1928) list this as one in a very large group of baptismal fonts that are plain octagonal with straightsided basins; no date given. The Victoria County History (Rutland, vol. 2, 1935) notes: "The earliest church on the site was probably an aisleless building and was enlarged c. 1140 by the addition of a south aisle [...] Towards the end of the 12th century, probably c. 1180, a north aisle was added, and the existing arcade is of this date. [...] Until the close of the 14th century it seems likely that the church had no tower, but only a western bell-cote. The present tower was built c. 1380– 1400, and to make room for it the western bay of the nave was shortened, the tower being constructed partly within the nave, and the west responds and half an arch on each side taken down [...] The font has a plain octagonal bowl, chamfered on the underside, on a modern stem and base." The basin is totally plain but for the chamfering at the upper rim and underbowl, raised on a plain octagonal pedestal base and a two-step polygonal plinth; the base and the plinth appear modern; the basin is difficult to date.
