Toft nr. Cambridge / Tofth

There are three entries for this Toft [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL3655/toft/] [accessed 16 May 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. A font here is noted in Paley's Guide (1844): "The font is plain octagonal, of Perpendicular date." [NB: Paley suggests a date ca. 1470 for most of the church, but the RCHM (1968) reports a south arcade, chancel arch of ca. 1400, and a late-14th century tower]. Noted in Kelly's county Directory for 1929 much in the same terms as Paley. The RCHM (ibid.) has: "Font: octagonal bowl with moulded underedge, plain stem and chamfered base; 15th century." The Victoria County History (Cambridge and the Isle of Ely, vol. 5, 1973) notes: "Count Alan may have had a church at Toft, for before 1086 he gave part of his tithes there to the abbey of St. Sergius and St. Bacchus at Angers (Maine et Loire). [...] The church itself was recorded in 1217 [...] bore that dedication [i.e., St. Andrew] as early as 1267 [...] 15thcentury font".
