Glympton / Glintone

There is an entry for Glympton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP4221/glympton/] [accessed 16 November 2017], but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. Kelly's Oxford Directory of 1911 reports: "the font is Norman". Noted in Sherwood and Pevsner (1974): "Font. Norman, tub-shaped, with unusual decoration of incised triangles." The Victoria County History (Oxon., vol. 11, 1983) notes: "The church was in existence by the early 12th century when Manasser Arsic (fl. 1101, 1110) gave it 1 hide in Ludwell [...] The original invocation was to St. Laurence; by the early 18th century it had been changed to St. Mary, although the parish wake was still kept on or near St. Laurence's day [...] In 1122 Geoffrey de Clinton gave the church to his new foundation, Kenilworth priory [...] The 12th-century [...] tower arch and the chancel arch, rebuilt in the 19th century, survive [...] The font is 12th-century." The bucket-shaped basin of this font, with its shallow and wide saw-tooth pattern all around is probably 12th-century; the upper basin side has a band of incised trellis motif all around; the wide round moulded base must be a replacement. Wooden font cover, round and flat, with metal ornamentation and ring handle; appears modern. [NB: a font with an almost identical pattern of decoration exists at nearby Steeple Aston, but it is not clear whether the latter is an original work or just a copy/replica].
