Bardsey / Bereleseie

There is an entry for Bardsey [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE3643/bardsey/] [accessed 23 October 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE3655843124] notes: "Parish church. Anglo-Saxon tower between 850-950 raised later C10, parapet early C20, north aisle Norman, c1100-1125; south aisle Transitional, c1175-1200; aisles widened C14 with Perpendicular windows inserted C15; chancel early C14; much restored north chapel c1520, now the vicar's vestry; south chapel built as the Bayley family pew c1724 now choir vestry; roof raised C19; restored 1909 by Charles R. Chorley and Son (Leeds) (Linstrum's West Yorkshire Architects and Architecture, (1978: 374)",; it mentions no font in it. Octagonal mounted baptismal font in the Perpendicular style; the sides of the basin are a little concave and decorated with large quatrefoil windows of slightly pointed lobes in X; pronounced chamfer on the underbowl; appears plain; octagonal pedestal with straight sides, slightly wider at the lower base; raised on a two step plinth with kneeling stone. Old wooden cover of the type with ribs arranged against a central pivot with brass cup finial, perhaps 17th or 18th century. The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2018) reports two framnets seen in it in April 2014: "Kirk [i.e., G. E. Kirk, All Hallows Church, Bardsey, Leeds, 1937] dates these fragments to c.1150 and compares them to a font once in Nostell Priory, illustrated in 'Assoc. Archl. Papers, 185, 4-6, 253' (reference not located). The stone is a fine-grained sandstone of a rich almost raspberry-pink colour, whereas most of the church is in gold or light pink tones. The neatly carved pattern of a beaded interlaced arcade is surmounted by cable moulding."
