No entry for this Bampton found in the Domesday survey. Pevsner (1967) writes: "Font. Plain, square, with a round arch on each side. Probably C12, but dated 1662." English Heritage [Listing NGR: NY5215718040] (1968) reports a composite font here: "Square C12 font bowl on C20 plinth, the bowl inscribed: 'MW 1662'." [NB: this is probably one more case in which the date inscribed on the font is that of its restoration to liturgical use after having been driven out of the church during the Reformation].
