There are two entries for Tittleshall [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TF8920/tittleshall/] [accessed 12 February 2014, one of which with a church in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church is dedicated to St. Mary [...] The chancel and church are covered with lead, being a single pile with a square tower and 4 bells, and a dormitory on the north side, for the family of the Cokes". The present font here is described in Pevsner & Wilson (1999): "Octagonal, C15, tracery on the stem, quatrefoils on the bowl." Illustrated in Knott (2006). The font consists of an octagonal basin with vertical sides decorated with a large quatrefoil on each, the underbowl with graded moulding, raised on an octagonal pedestal base with tracery on the sides, a lower base octagonal and moulded, and a small octagonal plinth. [NB: we have no information on the font from the [pre-?]Conquest church here].
