Horton nr. Northampton / Hortone / Hortun

There are four entries for this Horton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8154/horton/] [accessed 11 November 2015], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 4, 1937) notes on this church: "With the exception of the nave arcade, and in a less degree of the tower, which are of early-14th-century date, the fabric retains very little ancient work [...] The font in use is modern and of an elaborate Gothic character: the 18th-century marble font, of good design, is in the churchyard." [NB: we have no information on the original font of this 13th-century church]. [NB: the British Listed buildings entry for Hackleton [www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-235505-church-of-st-mary-former-font-approximat] [accessed 4 June 2012] [original source English Heritage] reports "Former Font Approximately 4 Metres West of Tower, Hackleton: Bird-bath, formerly font. Early-mid C18. Veined marble. Oval plinth, 4 slender volutes supporting oval bowl", which may be the 18th-century font reported in the churchyard in the VCH].
