Binstead / Binsted nr. Ryde / Benestede

There is a multiple-place entry for Binstead [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SU6015/binstead/] [accessed 13 February 2020]; it reports a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 5, 1912) notes: "The church of the Holy Cross [...] was probably erected for the use of the workers in the quarries, c. 1150 [...] in 1844 the nave was pulled down bodily and rebuilt"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry. Lloyd & Pevsner (2006) write: "Font, 1844. Octagonal with richly carved roundels of biblical scenes, ringed with stylized foliage. Designed by the Ho. Henry Graves, 1844 (church guide)." [NB: we have no information on the original font of the medieval church]. On the nearby Quarr Abbey and its original church the VCH (ibid.) notes: "The Cistercian house of our Lady at Quarr was founded in 1131, by Baldwin de Redvers, as a colony from Savigny, and was consecrated 1 June 1150. [...] The abbey was dissolved in 1537. [...] The church was of the usual Cistercian type, consisting of a presbytery, quire and nave [...] The church was completely demolished at the Dissolution." [NB: we have no information whether a font existed in the abbey church or not].
