No individual entry found for Collingham in the Domesday survey. Glynne's 1 December 1865 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font is modern, but octagonal; too small." [NB: the font noted by Glynne is probably from the 1841 restoration; we have no information on the earlier font of this church]. The Parish web site [http://collinghamwithharewood.org/aboutus.aspx] [accessed 22 September 2011] notes: "Although much altered in 1840-1, the church building is thought to be Saxon, with much of the stonework of the nave and chancel pre-dating the Norman Conquest of 1066. The church is dedicated to St Oswald, an Anglo-Saxon saint. There are substantial fragments of two Anglo-Saxon crosses - the Apostle's Cross, dated between the 8th and 10th Centuries, and a second Runic Cross decorated with intertwined dragons, thought to date from circa 900AD."
