Talaton / Taleton / Taletone / Tallaton

There is an entry for Talaton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SY0699/talaton/] [accessed 28 August 2017] but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. The Ecclesiologist (no. LXX, February 1849: 267) remarks: "The font, of Norman work, which has been recently chiselled and repaired, is not used as such; but it is converted into a recptacle for a small Wedgewood-ware vessel, from which we suppose the Sacrament of Baptism is administered, although the font is provided with a drain". Noted in Stabb (1908): "The font is Norman, the bowl and part of the shaft old, and the pillars and base of the shaft restored." Clarke (1922), in a summary of cases in which the outer colonnettes of the bases of square fonts had been restored inappropriately, notes that "at Talaton the shafts have sham Corinthian capitals". Noted in Pevsner (1952): "Font. Of the Norman table-top type (with four shallow blank arcades on each side of the top)." Noted in Leach (1975) as a font made of Purbeck marble: "bowl with four panels on each face; the subsidiary shafts have modern capitals" [source given: Professor E.M. Jope]. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SY0674599734] notes: "Parish church. Norman font but church is C15. It was extensively rebuilt 1859 - 60 [...] Norman font of a hard grey stone; table-top type with smple arcaded frieze, main stem a plain cylinder but corner columns have waterleaf capitals."
