There is an entry for this Rampton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK7978/rampton/] [accessed 30 June 2016]; it mentions a church in it. Cox (1912) writes: "Font octagonal shaft, circular bowl with exceptional arcading in double columns, late 14th cent." Listed in Guilford (1927) as a Norman font decorated with arcading. In Pevsner & Williamson (1979): "Norman, with curiously cusped (retooled?] arches on short shafts." [NB: the arches rest not on short shafts but on double columns; the base of the fonts was probably fashioned at the same time]
