Coddington nr. Newark-on-Trent / Cheluintone / Cotintone / Cotintun

There are five entries for this Coddington [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SK8354/coddington/] [accessed 7 September 2018], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Coddington History Group (2005) [http://www.coddington.org.uk/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=42] [accessed 2 October 2009] refers to Baylay's 1911 visit to this church, and Baylay's comments which dated this font to the 13th century, though the Group notes: "the font itself may be Saxon […] The font is covered by a heavy oak lid". Cox (1912) wrote: "Octagonal font rests on central shaft, and has 4 circular shafts attached to bowl; it is of unusual design, and probably of Edward I.'s time." [i.e., 1272-1307]". Guilford (1927) lists it as 14th-century. The font is not mentioned in Pevsner & Williamson (1979). The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK8349254493] mentions a font in the tower but gives no further details. A note in the Colwall & Coddington site [http://www.colwallchurch.org/allsaints/ringing%20gallery.html] [accessed 2 October 2009] reads: "The Coddington Parochial Church Committee intends to request a faculty from the Hereford Diocese to approve the following alterations to All Saints Church. The main changes are to build a ringing gallery in the church tower and to move the font to the south door …] The repositioning of the font to its more traditional position by the south door will consolidate this increased space at the tower base." This web page illustrates the font in situ at present. The font consists of a round basin of plain vertival sides with a rounded underbowl, also plain, raised on a cluster of contral shaft and four (?) outer colonnettes with moulded capitals; on a two step circular lower base, which appears old, and a modern square plinth.
