There is an entry for Ryther [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE5539/ryther/] [accessed 20 November 2018]; it reports a priest and a church in it. Morris (1932) notes: "Old font (? Dec[orated])." Noted in Mee (1941) simply as "medieval". The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2018) describes and illustrates a 12th-century font in it: "The font is made up of three components: an octagonal modern base with extension for the officiant to stand on; a square stem with chamfered and plain lower moulding and chamfered angles above, and a cylindrical upper part which has irregular shaping in the lower part to fit the more regular stem. The rim of the font is narrow and without rebate; the bowl is cylindrical, meeting the flattish floor of the font approximately at a right angle. There is a central drainage hole. The four faces and the four corner flutes cut in the cylindrical drum are approximate, but confident. No tooling marks are visible. [...] It looks very much as though a plain Norman cylindrical font was ‘modernised’, lifted onto a new base of chamfered square form perhaps in the 13th century, and cut to fit. When coated by plaster and/or paint, the upper and middle components would be unified, and the appearance would approximate to a shallow basin in an octagonal stem; the dimensions of the interior bowl are, however, similiar to those of twelfth-century fonts. Not mentioned by Pevsner. [cf. Index entry for Ryther No. 2 for the remains of stoup in this church]
