There are two entries for Winfrith [Newburgh] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SY8084/winfrith-newburgh/] [accessed 4 October 2019], neither of which mentions a church in it; the second entry is for the land of Bolla [Bollo?], who is identified as 'Bolla the priest' [presbiter [...] ecclesiam de Wintrode], lord and tenant in 1086. The Dorset Historic Churches Trust [http://dorsethistoricchurchestrust.co.uk] ^accessed 9 January 2006 notes an octagonal font of the time of the Victorian renovation of this church in 1852. The modern font consists of an octagonal basin with large symbols [dove, etc.] inscribed in circles on the sides, and a graded chamfer; raised on a polygonal stem and lower base. [NB: the fabric of this church date back to the 13th century, but we have no information of the earlier font(s) of this church]
