Gilling East No. 2 / Gellinge / Ghellinge

There are two entries for Gilling [East] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE6176/gilling-east/] [accessed 11 November 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or font in it. A baptismal font (?) that was found in the garden grounds of the Wood family in Gilling East. Two old photographs survive: the oldest one shows Mrs. Wood [Granny Wood] and the font; the font itself appears to consist of plain hemispherical raised on a pedestal base; it appears to have been used as a flower pot at the time. The second photograph is supposed to be of the same object and shows Granny Wood's daughter and grandson Michael next to it; the font appears quite weathered in this photograph. The present whereabouts of the object are not known. Listed in Stocker (1997: 25) as one in a group of "font bowls buried in churchyard or adjacent vicarage garden".
