There are five entries for Mumby [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF5174/mumby/] [accessed 25 August 2019] none of which mentions cleric or church in it. Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989) write: "Font. Dec[orated], octagonal. Tall bowl, and in each panel a different motif of flowing tracery, set between buttress-shafts. Most of the motifs are familiar from windows, but one or two are pure fancy." [NB: Lewis (1848) has dedication of church to St. Peter (though the font is not mentioned in its Directory); Pevsner & al. (1989) have St. Thomas]. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF5155874436] notes: "Parish church. C13, C14, C15, 1874 chancel rebuilt. [...] C14 tall octagonal font with stop chamfered stem having cusped flowing traceried panels."
