Saxton / Saxtun

There is an entry for Saxton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE4736/saxton/] [accessed 20 November 2018]; it reports "1.8 church" in it. Glynne's 30 January 1874 visit to this church, (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font has a small octagonal bowl on a stem, perhaps modern." In Harman & Pevsner (2017): "Plain irregular octagon, on a base probably of 1876." [NB: the building goes back to Norman times but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE4757836886] notes: "Church. C11 nave and chancel with C14 south chapel, and early C15 tower with restorations and additions of 1876 and 1907 and later additions. [...] Medieval octagonal font on probably C19 base." Fragments of an early cross were found in this church [cf. entry in Harman & Pevsner (2017: 473), the CRSBI (2018) [www.crsbi.ac.uk/site/2107/] [accessed 20 November 2018] and illustrations in The Megalithic Portal [www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=16814] [accessed 20 November 2018]], and a 1998 copyrighted photograph by Dianne Tillotson [www.flickr.com/photos/hipbookfairy/26590367545/]
