There is an entry for Stoke [Mandeville] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8310/stoke-mandeville/] [accessed 30 September 2015]; it mentions a church in it. Sheahan (1862) writes: "the ancient font is decorated with trefoiled arches". Noted in the Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 2, 1908): "The narrow chancel arch appears to be the only remaining architectural feature of a small 12thcentury church [...] The church of ST. MARY is a modern structure [...] built in 1886 [...] The font is octagonal, of the 15th century, with square panels on the bowl, the alternate panels containing a rose, a leaf pattern, a blank shield, and what seems to be the representation of a shrine with a gabled top, on which is a cresting of trefoiled arches, with a cross at either end." Noted and illustrated in the RCAHM (Buckinghamshire, 1912): "[this font] has an interesting carved panel showing the chrismatory or box containing the holy oils used in baptism, etc." Noted in Pevsner (1960): " Font. Perp[endicular], octagonal, with pleasant leaf motifs, also a shield with the symbol of the Trinity and a shrine." [NB: the old church was demolished in the mid-20th century; we have no information on its original font].
