Click to view
There are two entries for this Watton [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TA0249/watton/] [accessed 10 October 2019], one of which, in the Land of Count Robert of Mortain, reports a church and a priest in it. Glynne's July 1857 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font is large: the bowl a circular cup with mouldings around it, on a square stem." Baptismal font consisting of a hemispherical basin raised on a bulbous base of which it is separated by a thick roll moulding NB: [the square stem reported in 1857 by Glynne appears to have been replaced]. The font fits with types of between the 13th and 15th centuries. Modern oak cover.
