Brightwell Prior / Britwell Prior

The Ecclesiastical and Architectural Topography of England: Oxfordshire (1850) notes a number of "good N[orman]" parts of the fabric of this church, but, "the font octagonal, cup-shaped", and perhaps of a somewhat later date [NB: Kelly's Post Office Directory for the counties of Nhants, Hunts., Beds., Bucks., Berks & Oxon. (1869: p. 844) informs that the church at Brightwell Prior "was taken down in the year 1865, and the parishioners now attend that of Brightwell Salome, the adjoining parish"]. Wilson's 1870 Imperial Gazetteer notes: "The church is Norman in the nave, and early English in the chancel; and has a decorated font." Described in 'Church notes...' (1887) in the context of some "notes [that] were taken between 1835 and 1840": "Font probably Decorated."
