There are two entries for Burton [Joyce] [variant spelling] in the Domesdays survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SK6443/burton-joyce/] [accessed 5 July 2019], one of which reports a priest and a church in it. Cox (1912) writes: "The font, which has a diameter of 2 ft., is E[arly] E[nglish]; it stands on 5 shafts." Described in Pevsner & Williamson (1979): "C13; rounded sides with projecting semicircles at the corners; no decoration at all." The entry for this church in the Southwell & Nottingham Church History Project [http://southwellchurches.nottingham.ac.uk/burton-joyce/hhistory.php] [accessed 5 July 2019] notes: "The font was moved here from near the tower in 1985. The quatrefoil bowl is in Early English style and mediaeval, but the base dates from 1879."
