There is an entry for this Barlow [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/barlow/] [accessed 2 October 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The present font in this church is modern, consisting of a hemispherical basin decorated with foliage motif, raised on a round moulded pedestal base. The wooden cover is flat and round, with metal decoration and ring handle; also modern. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK3441974698] reports "a C19 font, with a circular bowl with foliage decoration, standing on a moulded stem" in it. [NB: the Norman church here may have been sponsored by Hascoit Muscaard from Honfleur [cf. www.peakdistrictonline.co.uk/barlow-c2224.html [accessed 16 September 2011], a Norman baron who received the land from William the Conqueror; we have no information on the earlier font [Norman?] of this church] [NB: there is a water pump of the Victorian period that uses a water trough suspiciously looking like a modern stone font].
