Adisham / Adesham

There is an entry for Adisham [variant spelling] in te Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TR2254/adisham/] [accessed 10 February 2023]; it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Described in Glynne (1877): "The font is early, and has a square bowl charged with plain round arches, upon a square pedestal." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. Listed in Tyrrell-Green (1928) with a group of Norman-period fonts on which "the arcading is rather rudely represented by a succession of shallow sunk panels with semicircular heads [...] the only adornment" of the basin. Torr (1930) assigns a 13th-century date to this font, "except the possibly older bowl". Noted in Newman (1976): "Norman. The usual square arcaded bowl of Bethersden marble, on a cluster of five shafts." [NB: base changed since Glynne's reported 'square pedestal'?]. Noted in Leach (1975) as a font made of Purbeck marble: "bowl with six panels on each face; the subsidiary shafts are restored" [gives source: The Rev. D.E.J. Hodge]. The entry for this church in Histotic England [Listing NGR: TR2279454202] notes: "The building is largely late C12 except for the south transept which is Cl3 and has an east gabled projection as at Ickham and the north porch which is C19, but the base of the tower possibly contains some earlier Norman work and later C14 windows have been inserted in the nave and the chapel to the north of it. The whole building was restored in 1869-70 [...] Norman font." The entry for this church in the 1991 Kent Archaeological survey by Tim Tatton-Brown [https://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/01/03/ADI.htm] [accessed 10 February 2023] notes: "The font bowl is of Purbeck Marble [...] a square arcaded bowl on a cluster of 5 shafts (now in the middle of the nave)."
