Font Notes:
There is an entry for this Givendale [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE3369/givendale/] but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. Although the original fabric of the church is said to be Norman [ca. 1150?], the font currently in use at St. Ethelburga probably dates from the Victorian restoration of the mid-1800s. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE8133253879] notes: "Church. Rebuilt 1849, using old materials [...] mid C13 stoup to west of south door" [NB: the entry does not mention a fragment of the old font inside the church [cf. infra]. A fragment of an old font is kept semi-hidden inside the re-built church; it consists of the basin underbowl [appears to have been polygonal, like the modern replacement, but now almost circular] and the supporting colonnettes of the base; the basin fragment appears circular in shape and the surviving base looks much the one of the replacement font from the Victorian period. The replacement font consists of a polygonal [16 sides?] basin with plain tapering sides, raised on a cluster of thick shafts with moulded capitals and bases, and a square three-step plint; the tall oak cover has a lower volume that imitates the polygonal basins of the fonts of the Perpendicular period in its shape and ornamentation [quatrefoil windows with rosette boss on each side], and an inscription [cf. Inscription area] on the lower side, and an upper pyramidal volume of open-work tracery with the usual cusps, pinnacles, etc., and a trefoliate finial; probably of the same date as the font itself. The stoup itself is an odd one as much for its shape -an octagonal basin with moulded underbowl raised on a cluster of slender colonnettes and a moulded base- as for its location -embedded from top to bottom in the south wall, just to the left of the entrance; it appears medieval [cf. supra], but not as early as the original mid-12th century chancel arch.
