There are three entries for Willoughby [Waterless] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP5792/willoughby-waterless/] [accessed 12 February 2015], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. A font here is noted and illustrated in Upcott (1818). The baptismal font consists of a plain cylindrical basin with a pronounced underbowl chamfer; there is round moulding in the centre ring position, at the upper end of the otherwise plain cylindrical pedestal; the latter appears to be only partly original, the lower part, the lower base and the plinth all modern replacements. The wooden cover is round and flat, plain, with a knob handle/finial; also modern.
