There is an entry for Buckland [Dinham] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/ST7551/buckland-dinham/] [accessed 3 June 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Wade & Wade (1929) note: "The Norm[an] font, with different mouldings on opposite sides, deserves attention." Described in Pevsner (1958): "Norman, circular, with a frieze partly beaded and partly a kind of crenellation." Described, and partly illustrated, in Phil Draper (2005) [www.wishful-thinking.org.uk/genuki/SOM/BucklandDinham/StMichael.html] [accessed 8 March 2008]: "Odd goblet font with part beaded part embattled frieze of decoration." [NB: Lewis' Topographical Dictionary of 1848, which has the church dedicated to St. Mary, notes that the church was "anciently connected with an Augustine nunnery founded in 1120, [and] has some details of Norman and early English architecture; of the former, is a very fine arch". The font is not mentioned in Lewis -- The dedication to St. Mary is also given in the National Gazetteer of 1868].
