Compton Abdale / Compton Magna / Cuntune / Great Compton

There is an entry for Compton [Abdale] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP0616/compton-abdale/] [accessed 7 May 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Verey & Brooks (1999-2002) note: "Font. Chalice-shaped, perhaps early C19." The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 9, 2001) notes: "The church at Compton Abdale was recorded from 1291, when it was a chapel to St. Oswald's church and priory at Gloucester. [...] There are no obvious survivals from the church which existed by the late 13th century." There is no mention of a font in the VCH entry for this parish. The present font consists of an octagonal basin with a pronounced moulding at the upper rim, a crenellated underbowl that appears to nest the bowl into it, and a splaying octagonal pedestal base moulded at both ends. The polygonal plinth may be the original one belonging to the old font [now disappeared?]. The wooden cover is octagonal and almost flat, with a knob handle [NB: we have no information on the earlier font of this church].
