Font Notes:
There are two entries for Kingston [Bagpuize] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU4098/kingston-bagpuize/] [accessed 1 June 2015], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "Kingston Bagpuize was originally part of Longworth (Wurtha). Adelelm de Kingston and Ralph de Bagpuize built a chapel, which with a churchyard was consecrated by Osmund Bishop of Salisbury (1078–1107) [...] The church of St. John the Baptist [...] was rebuilt in 1800, and little is known of its predecessor except that the tower was rebuilt in 1603." The first parish register reported in the VCH for this church is from 1539. The present font in this church is modern [NB: we have no information on the font from the earlier church here]
