Farnham nr. Guildford / Ferneham

There is an entry for this Farnham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU8446/farnham/] [accessed 15 October 2015]; it mentions a church in it. Brayley (1850) writes: "The font (of the date 1767) is of veined white marble, standing on a platform in the south aisle. The font consists of an octagonal basin the sides of which are decorated with symbols of the four Evangelists alternating with other symbols or emblems (a shield charged with a trefoiled cross, Agnus Dei, etc.) inscribed in quatrefoil or octafoil panels; the underbowl chamfer is decorated with graded mouldings; the octagonal pedestal base is decorated with mouldings. It stands on an octagonal plinth. The shape of the cover is traditional, but the guilding, the colourful angels climbing the sides and the Baby Jesus finial are rather garish; it has a counterweight lifting system; probably modern. [NB: Brayley (ibid.) notes that the east end of the church dates probably from the early 12th century, but we have no information on the medieval font]
