Chipping Campden No. 2 / Campdene / Chippin Campden

There is an entry for [Chipping] Campden [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SP1539/chipping-campden/] [accessed 18 March 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Illustrated in a 30 July 1841 drawing by Henry E.L. Dryden, in the Sir Henry Dryden Collection, Northamptonshire; the text below the font drawing reads: "Campden Co Glouc / Cut in half & put against a pew / [HD] Sep 30 1840". Illustrated in Daubeny (1921). Noted and illustrated in Flickr, with a photograph from Oxfordshire Church Illustrations [http://flickr.com/photos/oxfordshire_church_photos/290431970/] [accessed 16 September 2007]: "This old font was sawn in half by a church warden! It now is on the face of the Gainsborough chapel." Baptismal font of the Early English period; the basin was originally round but its lower part has been cut and/or altered to form a polygonal underbowl and a polygonal pedestal base; the original decoration still remains on the basin, a broad band of deeply-carved foliage motif, with at least one six-petal flower inscribed in a circle; plain tapering octagonal stem, octagonal lower base also plain. The upper basin side must have been badly damaged, as there is a large insert of new stone clearly visible on one of the sides. The wooden font cover is round and flat, modern.
