There is an entry for Hoggeston [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8025/hoggeston/] [accessed 19 November 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Sheahan (1862) notes: "the font is large and octagonal, but covered with a coat of cement". The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 3, 1925) notes: "The building dates from the 12th century [...] In 1882 the church was restored and the chancel entirely rebuilt [...] The font is probably of 15th-century date, and has an octagonal bowl with a moulded lower edge and a moulded base". On the dedication of the church the VCH (ibid.) registers its advocation to St. Peter and St. Paul but adds, "It has been thought that there was possibly an earlier dedication to the Holy Cross, the fair being held on the feast of the exaltation of the Holy Cross." [NB: we have no information of the earlier font of that church]
