There are four entries for Burton [-le-Coggles] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SK9725/burton-le-coggles/] [accessed 14 October 2018] none of which mentions cleric or church in it. Trollope (1876a) writes: "The font is a plain octagonal one of the Decorated period, set upon a plain solid square base." Noted in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989) in much the same terms but without a date. The wooden cover is round and almost flat, with knob handle; modern. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK9796825848] notes: "Parish church. C12, early C13, early C14, C17, 1874 restoration. [...] All fittings C19 except for recut C14 octagonal font."
