Yardley Gobion

According to to the Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 5, 2002) the present church at Yardley Gobion was erected and consecrated in 1864, [,,,] originally intended to be dedicated to St. Gregory [...] but, from at least the 1870s, was known as St. Leonard's, [...] presumably in honour of Bridges's statement concerning the dedication of the the medieval chapel nearby". The VCH (ibid.) further notes that a medieval chapel "stood in the centre of the village at the junction of the main Northampton road with the lane leading to Moor End", a building documented as active in the 16th century; its ruins were still visible near the Packhorse Inn at the time of Bridges' writing [John Bridges (1666-1724)], but not two decades later, notes the VCH (ibid.) , nor were there separate registers ever kept for that chapel, so we have no evidence of a font in it.
