Edlington nr. Horncastle / Ellingetone

There are two entries for this Edlington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TF2371/edlington/] [accessed 6 November 2018], one of which reports a church in it. Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989) note: "Font. Square, chamfered at the corners, with blank arcading, shafts, and round arches. Dated 1599." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF2334671474] notes: "Parish church. C12, C13, C16, 1860 restoration and rebuilding by James Fowler of Louth. [...] The square font, which was recut in C19, is decorated with blank round headed arches, and dated 1599. ***********************NB: ALL THE ENTRIES BELOW SEEM TO REFER TO THE 1599 FONT IN EDLINGTON ST HELEN's, LINCOLNSHIRE -- THE VARIOUS SOURCES APPEAR TO CONFUSE THE TWO EDLINGTONS********************* [Hunter (1828-1831) reports: "The font has the date 1590". Ditto in Moule (1837). Noted in Glynne's 29 January 1869 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007): "The font is ugly and debased, bears the date 1599". Armitage (1905) notes: "The queer little font is dated 1590." Cox & Harvey (1907) list it as a baptismal font of the Elizabethan period, but give the county as "Staffs." Bond (1908) among fonts dated to the reign of Elizabeth I, this one to 1590, and gives the county as Lincolnshire. Morris (1932) notes "an Elizabethan font (dated 1599) that is interesting for its retention of Gothic feeling." Pevsner (1986 c1967) writes: "Font. 1590. An unusual date and shape. Square with diamond-chamfered angles. Plain Roman lettering and geometrical ornament. Not at all Gothic Survival. -- Elementary font cover of scrolls drawing together, perhaps also of c. 1590." [NB: the 'addenda' in Pevsner notes that the church is disused at the time and that the font and cover had been removed -- Harman & Pevsner (2017) mention no font in it]
