There are six entries for Hasketon [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TM2550/hasketon/] [accessed 13 June 2024] none of which mentions priest of church in it. Described in Gough (1792): "octagon, has four angels holding on shields a lion double tailed rampant between ten cross croslets, the arms of Bruce, two single, and one impaling Payton, a cross ingrailed and one plain and four roses, and a lion rampant, and a chevron between three cross croslets fitchè. It has been taken off the pedestal, and lowered." Parker (1855), however, notes "the emblems of the Evangelists" on this font [NB: there are no Evangelists' emblems on this font]. Listed in Cautley (1982) in a group of 15th-century heraldic fonts in Suffolk. Parker (1855) mentions "a stoup on east ide of south doorway" but does not give a date for it. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TM2502850430] notes: "Church. Cll-C12, Early C14 and C19 [...] Font is of mid-C15 date with octagonal stem having sunken panels of blind tracery before which stand small plinths of semi- octagonal form (as if to carry crouching lions and buttresses that were unexecuted or have been removed). Below the bowl are angels' heads with interlacing wings. The bowl itself has sunken panels, those facing the compass points having angels bearing coats of arms of the De Brewse family (who erected it) and the same impaling Ufford, Shardelow and Stapleton. Roses to the other panels in high relief with leaves in shallow relief extending into the angles." The entry for this church in the CRSBI [https://www.crsbi.ac.uk/view-item?i=6512] [accessed 13 June 2024] mentions not font in it but describes and illustrates an old pillar piscina in it. A font here is noted and partially illustrated in Knott (2020), Suffolk Churches [http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/hasketon.html] [accessed 13 June 2024]: "early 16th century font with its angels and shields. It seems unlikely that they could be in such good condition without being recut, but the reliefs are so deep that it may simply be that they could be plastered over by the reformers without any need to knock them flush. This would have happened only a few decades after the font was made, and only revealed a couple of centuries after." Illustrated in The Round Churches of Europe [https://www.roundtowerchurches.net/suffolk/suffolk-a-i/suffolk-hasketon/] [accessed 13 June 2024].
