Melbury Osmond / Melbury Osmund / Meleberie / Melesberie

There are four entries for Melbury [Bubb and Osmund] [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/melbury-bubb-and-osmund/] [accessed 3 January 2020] none of which mentions cleric or church in it. Long (1923) lists a baptismal font of the Norman period here. Mee (1939) writes: "last century a font thought to be Norman was found built into the wall and is now in its place again, looking almost too new to be true." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: ST5740207832] notes: "Parish Church. C15 west tower, much rebuilt, nave and chancel rebuilt [...] in 1745 [...] C19 refenestration in chancel. [...] Font, plain stone bowl set into tower responds, medieval." Illustrated in The Dorset Historic Churches Trust web site [http://dorsethistoricchurchestrust.co.uk/melburyosmond.htm]: baptismal font oddly built into or attached to a wall and a pillar of the church; the basin is roughly hemispherical and is mounted on a plain cylindrical stem and an octagonal lower base; the whole is raised on a two step plinth.
