There are thirteen entries for Oxford [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP5106/oxford/] [accessed 9 November 2016], two of which mention a church in each. [cf. Index entry for Oxford No. 2]. The Victoria County History (Oxford, vol. 4, 1979) notes that the original church of All Saints dated from ca. 1122, but we have no information on the font from that period; the VCH entry (ibid.) reports that "The 18th-century font (fn. 1 [Bodl. MS. Top Oxon. C 299, f. 44.) was replaced by the font from St. Martin's in 1896" [i.e., the year when Carfax St. Martin's was demolished except for the tower]. [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of the replaced 18th-century font from All Saints -- the original font of the 12th century may have been destroyed when the spire collapsed om 8 March 1700 destroying most of the church].
