There are three entries for Barnby [Dun] [variant spelling] in teh Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE6109/barnby-dun/] [accessed 15 May 2015], one of which, in the lordship of Mauger of Edlington, being its tenant in 1086 William of Percy, mentions both a priest and a church in it. A font here is noted in Glynne's visit of 30 October 1867 (in Butler, 2007): "The font is Perpendicular, has an octagonal bowl, each face having varied panelling with [an] admixture of shields and foliage. There is something like a nailhead moulding round the top." Smith (1881-) notes: "The font is large, having a basin 'capacious enough to thoroughly immerse a child'". Morris (1932) notes: "Octagonal font with nail-head ornament. Yet in spite of this feature is probably Dec[orated]; [...] probably belongs to the close of the 13th century". Pevsner (1986 c1967) writes: "Font. Perp[endicular], octagonal, with shields or leaf motifs." [NB: we have no information on the font of the Domesday-time church here]
