Willingham nr. Cambridge No. 1 / Wiuelingham / Wivelingham / Wyvelingham

There are three entries for this Willingham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL4070/willingham/] [accessed 5 July 2016], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Kelly's Directory of this county for 1929 reports: "the font is Perpendicular and has an octagonal basin" [source: 2005 transcription by Martin Edwards]. Noted in Pevsner (1970): "Font. Octagonal, Perp[endicular], with traceried stem and quatrefoils on the bowl." The Victoria County History (Cambridge…, vol. 9, 1989) notes: "Fragments of an Anglo-Saxon cross and grave covers have been found at Willingham and there is architectural evidence for a church in the 12th century. […] The church […] stands in part on the foundations of a 12th-century church. Recut Anglo-Saxon stones used in the south wall of the 12th-century chancel have since the 1890s been in the porch"; the VCH entry does not mention a font in it. A 'History of the Parish Church of Willingham', by F.J. Bywaters [undated -- source: www.willinghamchurch.org] informs: "The early Perpendicular font is octagonal, but it appears to have been always near a pillar, as the side next the pillar is plain, while the other seven sides have quatrefoils".
