There is an entry for this Harthill [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK4980/harthill/] [accessed 9 November 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Glynne's 14 May 1868 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007): "The font has a mutilated octagonal bowl, once with shafts at the angles, now gone, on an octagonal base, and having a fine canopy of Jacobean wood-work." Armitage (1905) mentions the font cover at Harthill as an example of "the lofty spire-shaped canopies " that appear on fonts after the 15th century, and adds that "the font appears to be of the 17th century". Noted in Morris (1932): "Plain octagonal font. This has a good Jacobean cover, though possibly much restored." Pevsner (1986 c1967) notes the font cover only: "Jacobean, of an uncommon type." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK4936880962] notes: "Church. Arcades of c1200, C13 chancel rebuilt 1897, otherwise C15, the north aisle and chapel rebuilt 1850, restored 1886-90 by J. B. Mitchell-Withers [...] octagonal font with corner shafts and arcading, Jacobean cover."
