Moulton nr. Newmarket / Muletuna

There is an entry for this Moulton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TL6964/moulton/] [accessed 1 January 2020] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Parker (1855) reports an octagonal font "carved with the emblems of the Crucifixion" [NB: Parker (1855) writes: "Since these notes were taken [i.e., in 1850], I am informed the church has been carefully and judiciously repaired throughout". Did that repair include the re-carving of the old font or a replacement font?]. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TL6996864145] notes: "Church. Medieval, restored 1851. [...] Fragments of C12 nave. [...] Octagonal limestone font, C16 but heavily recut, bearing the emblems of the Passion in panels; fine C16 cover, of cupola form with crockets on each rib." A modern font is illustrated in Knott (2008). The present font at Moulton St. Peter's is either a re-carved version of the original, or a modern replacement, but the wooden cover consisting of an octagonal platform with crocketed ogee ribs around a centre pivot is the original one form the 16th century, as noted in Cautley; it has an interesting locking arrangement now [2008] supplemented with a chain. The Moulton Village site [www.moultonsuffolk.co.uk/moulton_stpeters_church_suffolk.htm] [accessed 4 November 2009] notes: "The font is octagonal and the stonework has either been renewed or re-cut. On the panels of the bowl can be seen shields displaying the emblems of the Passion. The font is crowned by a sixteenth century wooden cover."
