Longnor in the Peak District / Longenalre

There is an entry for this Longnor [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SJ8614/longnor/] [accessed 29 July 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Norman period in Longnor. Pevsner (1974) points out that the carvings are difficult to discern and that they may have been done at a later date [NB: the presence of shields on a font at such an early date should raise suspicions on the date of the font or of the carvings]. The Victoria County History (Stafford, vol. 7, 1996) notes: "The survival of a Norman font in the present church may indicate the existence of a church at Longnor by the 12th century. A church was first mentioned, however, in 1448 [...] The present church of ST. BARTHOLOMEW, a dedication probably in use by 1631, [...] dates from the later 1770s. [...] Between 1774 and 1781 the church was demolished and a new one built on a site to the north. [...] The present Norman font was in the churchyard in 1830, when the archdeacon ordered it to be put back into the church; he had to repeat the order in 1837. In 1857 the font stood at the west end of the nave" [footnote: 'T.B.A.S. lviii, 16 and pl. 68; S.H.C. 4th ser. x. 93; Lichfield Cath. Libr., Moore and Hinckes drawings, iv. 24'] [source: [www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=22906] [accessed 1 October 2006]. The monolithic baptismal font is goblet-shaped and has some crudely carved human heads and shields, perhaps carved at a later date [cf. Pevsner supra] on its sides. The William Salt Library, Stafford, lists a sepia drawing: "'Font in Longnor Church, Satffordshire', showing a cup-shaped font with a waist. It has shallow carvings of heads and shields. 'J. B.' [John Buckler.] 6 inches x 7 inches. [SV VII.44 1847]" [source: www.staffordshire.gov.uk] [accessed 1 October 2006]. Described, with illustrations, as a Romanesque font in the CRSBI (2006): "a recessed blank shield [...] a similar shield with a central scutcheon [...] a round human head [...] a shield with an scutcheon within a bordure [...] an inverted blank shield tilted at a slight angle from the vertical". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK0887964984] notes: "Parish church. Circa 1781, on earlier site. [...] Font: C12 or earlier; of chalice shape in gritstone, rough carved low-relief figure and faces within shields."
