Broadwell / Bradewelle / Broadwell nr. Carterton

There is an entry for this Broadwell [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP2504/broadwell/] [accessed 15 January 2018], but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. The Ecclesiastical and Architectural Topography of England: Oxfordshire (1850) notes: "The font is very good late N[orman], with a large basin of the quatrefoil form with heads in the hollows, supported on four large shafts with scalloped capitals, and small shafts introduced between the large ones." Noted in Sherwood and Pevsner (1974): "Font. Of c.1200. Large bowl of quatrefoil shape with a border of nail-head and two lobes separated by a long carved head. The base is formed by a cluster of short columns with scalloped capitals." Baptismal consisting of a quatrefoil basin with vertical side, raised on a column cluster stem and a rectangular base and plinth; the upper rim of the basin is decorated with a band of fretwork; at the joining of the two lobes on the front of the basin is a head or figure, appears grotesque [the insertion of heads or figures in this position is common in some fonts from Navarra, Spain, e.g.: Elcano]; the four underbowls are decorated with ribbed pattern ornamentation; the columns of the stem have ring-mouldings at top centre and base. The wooden cover, also quatrefoil in shape appears 19th-century. The entry for Westwell, also in Oxfordshire, in the CRSBI states: "The font is clearly from the same workshop as the more elaborate version at Broadwell." Described as a "Saxon font" in the Historic Churches Preservation Trust, Recent Grants [...] 16 March 2006 [www.historicchurches.org.uk]. Verey & Brooks (1999-2002) note: "A copy of the Norman font at Broadwell, Oxfordshire, which found its way into Barnsley churfch for a few years, and was returned to its proper guardians in 1845." The Victoria County History (Oxon., vol. 17, 2012) notes: "Broadwell had an independent church by the mid 12th century and possibly much earlier [...] Broadwell had its own (apparently independent) church by the mid 12th century, when Alan de Limesy (d. by 1162), as lord of Broadwell, gave it to the Knights Templar with its glebe and tithes [...] The nave, chancel and lower two stages of the tower were probably built in the late 12th century after the Limesys' grant of the church to the Templars, but irregular masonry on the north and south chancel walls and around the tower arch may remain from an earlier building [...] The font, which has a quatrefoil bowl on clustered shafts with scallop capitals, is also late 12th-century [...] The church was much enlarged in the second half of the 13th century".
