Harewood / Hareuuode / Harewode

There is entry for this Harewood [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE3245/harewood/] [accessed 18 May 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. A font here is described succintly in Gough (1792): "a cup on a rude base." The vicissitudes of the font within the church are related in Jones (1859): ''A faculty was granted on the 25th of October, 1782, to William Kirby, Samuel Midgley, James Bland and Joseph Midgley, to remove the font from the middle aisle of the church, the same being inconveniently placed, and proving very incommodious to the parishioners going up the said aisle to the altar. Subsequently it was removed to the north east corner, where it continued until the induction of the present vicar, when it was removed as near as possible to its canonical place. It is very ancient, having the appearance of having been used for total immersion, it has, however, been much altered." Noted in Glynne's visit to this church ca. 1835 (in Butler, 2007): "The font is Norman, in the shape of a circular cup with rope ornament round the base." Morris (1932) notes: "Font with cable moulding, perhaps Norm[an]." -- the 'Yorkshire Notes and Queries', vol. V (1909) mentions the "Harewood font (Norman circular)", and so does Pevsner (1986 c1967): "Font. Circular and heavily moulded; C13 and re-cut (?)"]. The Churches Conservation Trust [http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/uploads/publications/67.pdf] [accessed 12 July 2008] notes that there are two fonts in this church: a circular ''tub-shaped Norman one and a a carved Victorian one'', the latter having been introduced into this church in 1862-63. [***NB: the baptismal font for which we have photographic evidence, however, appears to be of the Perpendicular period, like the rest of the church; octagonal basin with straight vertical sides decorated with foliage and/or floral motifs; pedestal base. Flat metal cover with Latin cross finial -- to be resolved]
