Great Brickhill / Brichella / Brickhill Magna / Magna Brichull / Magna Brikehille

There are two entries for [Great and Little] Brickhill [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/great-and-little-brickhill/] [accessed 2 February 2016], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Sheahan (1862) mentions an octagonal font in this church, probably modern, but he also notes: "The chapel on the north side of the chancel contains the former font, much mutilated". The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 4, 1927) notes: "The chancel, tower, and probably the nave date from the 13th century, but all the original details of the nave have been obliterated by subsequent alterations [...] the south porch was added in 1867, when the whole fabric was restored [...] The font is modern." [NB: the present font is octagonal with alternate basin sides carved; raised on brightly-coloured Victorian colonnettes; it may date from the 1867 re-building of this church; we have no information on the whereabouts of the old font noted in Sheahan [cf. supra] inside the north chapel]
