Font Notes:
There are three entries for Lambourne [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU3278/lambourn/] [accessed 27 May 2015], one of which, in the lordship and tenancy of King William, reports a church and one hide of church lands in it. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "A church existed at Lambourn in about 1032, when a charter of King Cnut, then lord of the manor, defined its endowments. These included, besides tithes and church scot, one hide of land free from all exactions. [...] In 1086 the church and its glebe were included in the account of the king's demesne [...] The tower and nave belong to a cruciform building of c. 1180 [...] The font is modern and replaces one of pseudoclassic design of the reign of Charles II. This latter, which found its way to a farm-house garden near Marlborough, was restored to the church about 1908 and now stands in St. Katharine's chapel set on an older base." Described in Tyrrell-Green (1928) as one of several "seventeenth-century examples of fonts of good traditional outline and having large bowls" [other such examples cited at Credenhill and Maidstone All Saints']. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original 11th-century church here].
