The entry for "Badele[i]a" in Domesday [www.domesdaybook.co.uk/suffolk1.html#badley] [accessed 25 October 2013] reports a church in it. Described in Parker (1855): "Font, an octagon, with slightly sunk panels in the bowl." In 'Badley, a history of the parish' [http://maurice.toucansurf.com/badley.html] [accessed 20 October 2009]: "The octagnal font in the church dates from the Early English period. It is made from Purbeck marble with slightly sunken panels and was once covered with a coat of paint. The cover is of more recent origin, probably 17th or 18th century." The font appears to have been re-tooled. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TM0623855918] notes: "Parish church, mainly C15, with core of c.1200 or earlier [...] C13 Purbeck marble font, the octagonal bowl with a pair of shallow arches on each face; a C17 oak cover with acorn finial." Noted in Leach (1975) as a font made of Purbeck marble, Polygonal I Type (Octagonal): no details [source given: Pevsner].
