Langton Long Blandford / Blaneford / Bleneford / Langton Long

There are three entries for [Langton Long] Blandford [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/ST8905/langton-long-blandford/] [accessed 2 December 2018] none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for this partish in the Inventory of the Historical Monuments in Dorset (vol. 4, North, 1972) notes: "The Parish Church of All Saints, in the E. of the village, was rebuilt in 1861 to designs by T. H. Wyatt (Sarum Dioc. Regy.); the former church, built c. 1740, appears to have incorporated some part of a mediaeval structure (Hutchins I, 284), but nothing of this remains today. Some fittings from the two earlier churches are reset in the present building"; no font mentioned in it. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: ST8987505916] notes: "Anglican rural parish church, built in 1861 to a design by Thomas Henry Wyatt (1807-1880). [...] octagonal stone font with carved panelled sides, set on a cylindrical pier with four marble sub-shafts. [...] It has been suggested that the church was built on the site of a former parish church of uncertain date and that the brass memorial of 1457 to John Whitewood situated in the current church, may be of this former parish church, however there is no firm evidence to support this. The Dorset Historic Churches Trust [http://dorsethistoricchurchestrust.co.uk/langton_long.htm] reports: "beautiful font, supported on a central pillar and four marble shafts." The font consists of an octagonal basin the sides of which are decorated with square and quatrefoil motifs, rosettes, etc., the underbowl ornamented as well; the base as indicated above, but raised on an octagonal lower base or plinth. It must belong to the rebuilding of the church in the 1860s [NB: although there must have been a font in the old church, we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
