Boxworth / Bochesuuorde

There are five entries for Boxworth [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL3464/boxworth/] [accessed 30 June 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The RCHM (Cambridgeshire, 1968) notes: "Font: of freestone, plain octagonal, perhaps 13th-century." The Victoria County History (Cambridge and the Isle of Ely, col. 9, 1989) notes: "The patronage of Boxworth church, recorded from the mid 12th century […] probably belonged in that period to the Picots' manor. […] The nave north wall has a 12th-century core. Quoins and a small windowhead of that period were re-used in later work. The plain octagonal font is perhaps 13th-century." Baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin with plain vertical sides, chamfered underbowl, raised on an octagonal stem and octagonal lower base, also plain; the font may have been re-cut and looks rather awkward in its proportions; plain flat wooden cover, probably modern.
