Impington / Epintone

There are two entries for Impington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL4463/impington/] [accessed 29 June 2016], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Paley's Guide (1844) states: "There is a good plain octagonal font, of Decorated date". Cook (1951) quotes a communication in which Thomas Wiborow, vicar of Impington ca. 1660, declared: "We have a font of stone fastened in the usual place, whole and clean", and provides a photograph that shows the font in the aisle, towards the W end of the nave [the photograph is captioned: "Impington Church, Interior -- Looking East. Before Restoration, circa 1870"; there is no cover on the font]. This same web site includes some 'Notes written by Robert Jeeps of Impington, February 1893' which quotes an earlier description of the church in 'Notes on Cambridgeshire Churches' of 1827: "The font is plain". The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: TL4478663218] (1962) reports a "C13 font, octagonal basin on moulded base with octagonal shafts". The Victoria County History (Cambridge and the Isle of Ely, vol. 9, 1989) notes: "Niel, bishop of Ely 1133-69, gave Impington church to Ely cathedral priory for the obscure purpose of 'making books' […] and in the late 12th century it was held by the precentor of Ely as priory librarian. […] The church of ST. ANDREW, so dedicated by 1744 […] but in the late 12th century invoking St. Etheldreda […] The 12th-century building is represented by fragments re-used in the south wall of the chancel and perhaps by the lower part of the tower"; the VCH entry does not mention a font in it.
