Great Coxwell / Cocheswelle / Cokeswell / Cokeswylle / Cokyswell / Coxwell / Great Cokewell

There is an entry for [Great] Coxwell [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU2693/great-coxwell/] [accessed 8 June 2015]; it mentions a church, and half-a-hide in church lands in it. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 4, 1924): "The church at Great Coxwell in 1086 was endowed with half a hide of land [...] In 1204, however, it is described as a chapel [...] The nave was apparently built about 1200, and the north wall of the chancel is perhaps of about the same date. [...] The ancient octagonal font is plain and of doubtful date". Baptismal font probably of the medieval period consisting of a basin with tall chamfered underbowl, pedestal base and lower base, all octagonal and plain. Octagonal wooden font cover of the rib-around-a-pivot design, with a kneeling figure between to the ribs; appears modern. [NB: we have no information on the font from the 11th-century church here].
