Caldwell / Caldewelle / Caldwall? / Cauldwell

Cox & Harvey (1907: 206) list a noteworthy baptismal font of the Norman period in 'Caldwall', Leics. [NB: site not located]. It is probably referred to Caldwell, in south Derbyshire, near the county border with Leicestershire. This Caldwell [variant spelling] has an entry in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SK2517/caldwell/] [accessed 16 August 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in Lysons' Britannia (1817) and, later, Cox (1877) mention a chapel that was given by abbot Briteric to the of Burton, a gift later confirmed by William Rufus [r. 1087-1100]. Bagshaw's History of Derbyshire (1846: 266) refers to Caldwell's as a chapel of ease, and mentions a full renovation of it in 1843. The History of Caldwell web site [www.churchfarmflowers.co.uk/stgileschurch.html] [accessed 16 August 2019] mentions a later restoration of 1865, and notas that a Mr Rawlins "makes mention of an old circular font, and a circular arch between the nave and chancel, both of which have disappeared." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK2540517198] notes: "Parish church. C12, extended and renovated 1843 and heavily restored 1865. [...] small stone font with octagonal bowl decorated with cable mouldings, set on a column." It appears from the references above tha the "old circular font" was disposed of in the 1865 'restoration' of this church.
