There is an entry for Tincleton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SY7791/tincleton/] [accessed 21 February 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. English Heritage [Listing NGR: SY7758191821] (1956) reports a "C12 stone font with circular fluted bowl on C19 or C20 base" in this 19th-century church. The Inventory of Historical Monuments (Dorset, vol. 3, 1970) reports: "Font: of Purbeck stone, with coarse reeding in two heights between rounded top and bottom mouldings, perhaps originally 12th-century but reshaped in recent times; stem and base modern." Newman & Pevsner (1972) list a baptismal font of the Norman period, "of strange shape and with scallops meeting in a syncopated way", and re-tooled at a later period. Described and fully illustrated in Gerald Duke [www.martinstown.co.uk] with date of the 13th century.
