Font Notes:
There is an entry for this Handsworth [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK4186/handsworth/] [accessed 8 November 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Glynne's 13 April 1860 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font is modern". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK4105086204] notes: "arish church and attached chest tombs. Late C12, north chapel (St Katherine) c1300, nave c1472, north aisle 1833, south aisle, south porch and vestry 1904, by John Dodsley Webster, choir vestry 1930, west tower late C12, the upper stages rebuilt 1825. Restored 1869 by ME Hadfield, 1880 by JB Mitchell-Withers, and 1934. [...] FITTINGS include C19 traceried ashlar font". [NB: the original church is believed to have been built ca. 1170, but we have no information of the earlier font(s) of this church]
