There are four entries for [Great] Livermore in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL8871/great-livermere/] [accessed 6 December 2016] one of which mentions a church and church lands in it. Parker (1855) reports "a panelled octagonal font" of the late Decorated period. Illustrated in Knott (2008). The octagonal basin has a variety of tracery patterns on the sides, one of which is a blank shield in a quatrefoil; graded mouldings on the underbowl chamfer; octagonal stem and moulded lower base of the same shape; raised on an octagonal plinth with kneeling extension. The wooden cover is an octagonal low dome of two volumes, the lower one has arcades carved on the sides; ball-and-cross finial; appears modern. [NB: located nearby is the ruined church of St. Peter and St. Paul, Little Livermere/Livermere Parva -- no information available on its font]
