There is an entry for Barton [Seagrave] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SP8877/barton-seagrave/] [accessed 13 November 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Parker (1849) writes: "The font, cylindrical and plain, stands now within the lath and plaster passage leading through the tower to the chancel." The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 3, 1930): "The church of St. Botolph is a building of considerable interest consisting of chancel and nave with massive axial tower built in the early part of the 12th century [...] The late 12th-century font has a plain circular bowl and flat 17th-century cover." Noted in Mee (1945): "The Norman font remains, with the staples by which it was locked [...]" Described and illustrated in the CRSBI (2008), with probable date of the 12th century. The font consists of two blocks: the upper 1/3 of the round basin is designed as a tall flat moulding to top the otherwise bucket-shaped basin that ends in a chamfered lower end; it is raised on a cylindrical base of two vols, the upper one chamfered. The basin is cracked horizontally [appears to be cracked right through]; the only other decoration appears to be two incised parallel lines over a vertical one, more like a mason's mark than a motif. The well of the basin is lead-lined, and there are two iron staples still remaing from the cover hardware [NB: the CRSBI (ibid.) points out "there are lock repairs on the rim"].
