Bunbury / Boleberie

There is an entry for Bunbury and [Lower] Bunbury [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/bunbury-and-lower-bunbury/] [accessed 28 February 2015]; it mentions a priest, but not a church in it, though there probably was one there. A font here is listed in Cox & Harvey (1907: 174) as a Restoration baptismal font dated 1663. Noted in Pevsner (1971): "Font. Dates 1663. Octagonal, with simplified motifs such as fleur-de-lys, tulip, lozenge, heart." Described and illustrated in Richards (1973): "The font is octagonal [...], with good carving, including the date 1663, and the original oak cover is most effective." The font consists of an octagonal basin with vertical sides, each decorated with a large shield containing one or several motifs -one of them contains the date 1663 in Arabic numerals, the underbowl decorated with a graded chamfer, a stem decorated with odd-looking round windows containing a number of varied motifs, and a plain splaing octagonal lower base or plinth. The cover has a box-like octagonal lower part, topped with the more usual eight-ribs-around-a-central-pivot design.
