Honing / Haninga

There are two entries for Honing [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TG3227/honing/] [accessed 5 September 2015], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. A font here is described in Pevsner & Wilson (1997) as a composite font with a 13th-century Purbeck marble basin and a Perpendicular base. Illustrated in Knott (2005). The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: TG3258828002] (1955) notes: " Octagonal C15 font with traceried stem and 8 animal and grotesque heads supporting plain chamfered bowl. Bowl reduced in height and now topped with octagonal C13 Purbeck marble bowl with 2 incised pointed arches to each facet." The octagonal basin has tapering sides decorated with the usual pair of shallow pointed arches; the support is oddly shaped and appears to include the bottom of an octagonal basin, perhaps of a damaged or broken one to which the base may have belonged; the octagonal upper volume appears plain; below it is octagonal and decorated with a band of quatrefoils under which are heads at the angles; the stem has tracery motifs; the lower base is moulded. The wooden cover consists of an octagonal platform with raised ribs; modern. It is a very confusing [and confused?] font.
