Buckland / Bocheland / Buckland nr. Aylesbury

There is an entry for this Buckland [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8812/buckland/] [accessed 2 June 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. A font here is noted in Sheahan (1862): "The font is ancient, cylindrical in form, and finely carved." The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 2, 1908) notes: "The chapel of Buckland was originally dependent on the prebendal church of Aylesbury, together with the chapels of Bierton, Stoke Mandeville, [...] and Quarrendon. It was separated with them from the mother church in 1266 [...] The font is circular, and though much restored is of 13th-century date, with a fluted bowl and a band of heavy foliage running round the rim." Noted and illustrated in the RCAHM (1912). with date in the 13th century. Described in Pevsner (1960): "Font. C13 of cup shape. With a band of foliage." Listed in Stockner (1997) as a 12th-century baptismal font of the Aylesbury group. Noted and illustrated in the CRSBI (2015): "The font [...] consists of a cup-shaped bowl of clunch on a short cylindrical stem with a round, heavy water holding base. This stands on a square step with a projection for the celebrant to the W. The bowl is fluted with 34 flutes around its circumference, and above the fluting is a row of deeply carved, trilobed stiff-leaves, slightly windblown. There are 17 of these; one for every two flutes. At the bottom of the bowl is a roll, carved from the same block. The bowl has been broken and repaired twice, most recently with a dark adhesive allowing the breaks to be seen easily. A horizontal break runs all the way around it; above this are four main fragments and below it another two, with some smaller inserts. Inserted repairs at the N and SW of the rim indicate lock removal. The bowl is lead-lined." The fluted pattern on the basin is characteristic of the Aylsbury font group; there is a centre ring moulding; the base is not of the Aylsbury type, nor is it the original, apparently; it has a plain cylindrical stem, while the lower base is wider and thickly moulded. There is a wooden cover, flat and round, probably modern.
