Fulbourn No. 2 / Fulbourne / Fuleberne

There are five entries for Fulbourne [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL5256/fulbourn/] [accessed 19 July 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. Paley's Guide (1844) reports the font as "modern". The Victoria County History (Cambridge and the Isle of Ely, vol. 10, 2002) notes: "Like several other Cambridgeshire townships, Fulbourn had from the 12th century two churches, which stood together in one churchyard until one fell in 1766. Even thereafter their two parishes remained formally distinct, although the two benefices were united in 1876. […] [St Vigor's], being named after a 6th-century bishop of Bayeux, was probably founded after 1066 by the tenants of the Mandeville fee. […] It has always remained a rectory. […] Rectors were recorded for both churches from the 1190s […] The two churches of ALL SAINTS, so named by 1185, (fn. 149) and ST. VIGOR, so named by the 1220s, (fn. 150) formerly stood barely 7 ft. (2 m.) apart in the south-eastern and north-western parts of the same churchyard near the southeast end of the main street. (fn. 151) Earlier use of that site for religious purposes is suggested by the surviving head of a stone wheel-headed cross carved with interlace, perhaps dating from c. 1000, found under St. Vigor's nave in 1869. […] A major restoration, amounting to virtual rebuilding, was undertaken in 1869-70 […] A new font replaced a marble 18th-century basin".
