Hazleton / Hasedene / Haselton / Hasleton / Hazledon

There is an entry for Hazleton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SP0718/hazleton/] [acccessed 7 February 2019]; it mentions a preiest in it, but not a church, though there probably was one there. A font here is illustrated in Daubeny (1921). Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. Good octagonal C13 bowl, each face with paired trefoil-headed panels." The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 9, 2001) notes: "Hazleton had a priest in 1086 [...] and the fabric of the parish church dates from the 12th century. [...] Among the older fittings retained is a large 13th-century octagonal font with blind arcading." Baptismal font of the Early English period; the octagonal basin has vertical sides, each ornamented with a pair of low-relief trefoil windows or arches; a repair shows on the upper rim, a place consistent with the damage caused by the forceful removal of the metal staples of the old font cover; narrow chamfered underbowl; plain pedestal base, octagonal. Flat wooden cover with ring handle, modern.
