Font Notes:
No entry for Radnage found in the Domesday survey. There is no mention of a font in this church in Sheahan (1862). The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 3, 1925) notes: "The building, which is of unusual plan, the central tower being narrower than either the chancel or nave, dates from the opening years of the 13th century [...] The font is probably of the 17th century; it is now covered with plaster and paint and has a cover with a strap hinge." The British Listed Buildings database entry [www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-46611-church-of-st-mary-radnage] [accessed 17 October 2011], however, reports: "Rough medieval font". [NB: the font here is of an old design, examples of which have been attributed to the pre-Conquest period; it is doubtful that this font be of that period; there is no record in Domesday of such an early church here [NB: although that is not evidence of the church not being there]. Is it 17th-century font as claimed in the VCH? -- we have no information on the medieval font of this curch].
