Drax No. 1 / Drac / Drachs

There is an entry for Drax [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE6726/drax/] [accessed 6 November 2018]; it reports a priest and a church in it. Glynne's 24 January 1866 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font is modern". The font mentioned by Glynne may be the replica of the old font, as per the Goole on the Web site [http://www.goole-on-the-web.org.uk/main.php?key=163] [accessed 30 October 2008] quote of Mee (1941), where he reported "a battered font and a modern copy of it" in this church. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE6758826372] notes: "Church. C12 with C13, C14, C15, C16 and C19 additions and alterations including work of c1230 for Letticia, Baroness of Drax. [...] C12 tub font." The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2018) reports a font in it: "Simple bowl in vari-coloured gritstone. Some damage to the rim, not only where the lid was fixed. Stands on (probably) a later columnar stem [...] The font is of uncertain date, although it is of similar dimensions to other fonts in the East Riding. See Hunter (1988), p. 14." [NB: the CRSBI ref. is to: J. Hunter, The History of Drax, in 2 vols (Goole, 1988)]. Not mentioned in Harman & Pevsner (2017).
