Broughton / Braoughton-in-Airedale / Broctune / Broughton, Craven, nr. Skipton / Broughton-in-Airedale

There are two entries for this Broughton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SD9451/broughton/] [accessed 1 September 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Moule (1837) mentions a cylindrical font in this church. The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2019) notes: "inside there is a simple font in purplish sandstone. [...] The font has an octagonal stem made in two sections, the upper one shaped onto the circular base of the bowl. The bowl is cup-shaped in purplish-pink sandstone. It is upright in the upper half, in the manner of a rough cylinder, and the rim is not precisely circular. There is a slight angle or change of profile between the upper and lower half of the bowl. The basin is relatively shallow for an early 12thc font in Yorkshire; there is a central drainage hole. [...] It might be that the bowl was originally a cylinder, then chamfered in the lower part at a later date to be put on a stem; the straightness of the junction suggests recutting on a turntable or lathe, whereas the upper part appears to have been made without such equipment, yet tooling in both zones is much the same." The entry for this church in Historic Buildings [Listing NGR: SD9340750359] does not mention the font. Described in the Parish web site [www.fifparish.com/home/bmt/broughton.html] [accessed 7 November 2010]: "As you enter, through the late Norman doorway, to your left under the tower there stands an unadorned (but heavily restored) round Norman font, with a Jacobean cover." [NB: this same source reports also: "The bowl behind the communion table is an old holy water font, inexplicably fixed here on what is probably an old window mullion." [a piscina?]
