Wigston Parva / Little Wigston / Wicestan

There is an entry for Wigston [Parva] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP4689/wigston-parva/] [accessed 28 August 2015]; "Aelfric the priest" was lord and tenant-in-chief in 1086, but the entry mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Leicestershire Villages web site [www.leicestershirevillages.com] informs: "As you enter the Church you will notice the font, which came from Hemingford Church, Huntingford [sic], and was given to this Church during the Vicariate of the Rev. C.F. Hayter (Vicar of Claybrook 1871-1912)." [NB: these notes, which appear to have been gathered from a local church guide, must refer to one of the two Hemingfords in former Huntingdonshire (today in Cambridgeshire). The problem is that the medieval fonts of Hemingford Abbots and Hemingford Grey are both accounted for in recent years [cf. Index entries for these two localities]. It is possible however that the font donated to Wigston Parva may have been a spare font from one of these two churches, or one housed in either church originally from another church]. The web site of the Blaby District Council, Planning Services Division (2003) [www.blaby.gov.uk/com/content/environment/land-%26-premises/buildings/isted-buildings/wigston-parva/church-of-st-mary-church-lane.en] [accessed 21 December 2006], in its entry for Wgston Parva, notes that "fittings include an octagonal font removed from Hemingford, Hunts, c. 1900" [among other things]. [NB: the church here is believed to date back to ca. 1160, but we have no information on its font].
