The Domesday survey has a total of five entries under Hardwick, in the Hundred of Depwade [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TM2290/hardwick/] [accessed 27 November 2013]; the part whose lord had been Bishop Stigand before the Conquest was under Roger Bigot at the time of the survey, and reports a church in it; this part is the only one of the five with a church in it. There are two entries for "Hardwick" in Blomefield (1805-1810), one in the Hundred of Depwade [vol. 5: 218-223] and the other in the Hundred of Freebridge [vol. 9: 64-67]. In the first one he writes: "The church is dedicated to St. Margaret. [...] The church hath a steeple round at bottom and octangular at top, with one bell in it, the nave is leaded, the south porch tiled, the chancel, part leaded, and part tiled", and names "John le Waleys" as first recorded rector, in 1308. In the Blomefield entry for Hardwick in the Hundred of Freebridge, Hardwick is one of "two hamlets belonging to North Rungton: [...] These two hamlets had their chapels, and they were both standing in 1528." The present font is noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1999): "C15. Plain, with panelled stem and quatrefoiled bowl." Illustrated in Knott (2006). The octagonal basin sides alternate round and pointed quatrefoils; the underbowl chamfer has graded moulding; the sides of the stem have trefoiled arches/windows; the splaying octagonal lower base is plain The font stands on an octagonal plinth. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original church here].
