Chedgrave No. 2 . Chatgrave

There are two entries for Chedgrave [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TM3699/chedgrave/] [accessed 3 March 2014], one of which mentions a church int it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes; "The Church was a rectory dedicated to All-Saints, and being granted by the Lady Cassandra Bainard to the priory of Buttley was appropriated thereto" [NB: the Index Monasticus (1821: 94) gives the date 1271 associated with Lady Cassandra Baynard [sic]]. Pevsner & Wilson (1999) write: "Brought from St Julian, Norwich, C15 but re-cut in 1845." Knott (2005. 2009) writes: "The font is a fairly run-of-the-mill recut late medieval bowl with angels holding shields, set on a 19th Century base. Can it really have come from St Julian's church in Norwich, as Pevsner suggests? The font there, of course, came from the redundant church of All Saints nearer to the centre of the city." The octagonal basin has demi-angels holding blank shields on the panels;moulded underbowl; the pedestal base is decorated with cinquefoil arches/windows; moulded lower base. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with ring handle; modern. [cf. Index entry for Chedgrave No. 1 for an earlier font here].
