There is an entry for this Cottam [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SK8179/cottam/] [accessed 20 July 2014], but it mentions neither church nor cleric in it. The CRSBI (2008) reports: "By the E[ast] side of the S[outh] porch, half hidden in the grass, is something which might have been the Norman font (of sandstone with a square inner tub)". [cf. Index entry for Cottam No. 2 for a 15th-century hexagonal font in this church] [NB: FOR THE CARVED NORMAN FONT originally from this church see BSI entry for Langtoft No. 1]
