The British Museum Catalogue of manuscript maps… (1844- ) lists a 1773 ink-wash-on-paper drawing of the font in Annesley Church by Samuel Hieronymus Grimm :(P. R. Kaye, III, 153)" [Shelfmark: Additional MS 15543; Item number: f.122]. Baylay (1912) reported: "the font which we still see here, which is of 12th century date and good design. The cylindrical bowl has a border of the “sunk-star” ornament, and below this a bold and effective decoration composed of broad interlacing bands. The remains of iron fastenings for the lock and cover are curious. The bowl now rests immediately on a circular plinth, but probably had once a short cylindrical pillar supporting it." Described in Cox (1912) as a "very good Norm[an] font of cylindrical shape, surface enriched by diamond pattern, with band of star ornament near rim." Listed in Guilford (1927) as a good Norman font. Described in Pevsner & Williamson (1979): "Norman, with diagonal criss-cross and a top border of crosses." [NB: there appear to be no crosses on it]. The Southwell & Nottingham Church History Project [http://southwellchurches.nottingham.ac.uk/annesley-old-church/hfitting.php] [accessed 11 December 2011] notes: "The Norman font is described in the visitor leaflet as 11th century, but the Revd AMY Baylay, in his Lecture to the Thoroton Society of 1912 [cf. supra], regarded it as 12th century and stated that it was made for the “Norman Church”, which was erected in about 1150. It was transferred into the Old Church beside the Hall in 1356. In 1924, the Revd GA Lejeune, Vicar of Annesley All Saints, together with William Waplington and Arthur Colledge, Churchwardens, petitioned Edwyn, Lord Bishop of Southwell, for permission to move it, and that was done. It is thus now in the New Church." The 1773 drawing by Grimm includes a font cover of the Jacobean type, probably 17th-century, a round platform with vertical scroll ribs meeting at a ball finial.
