Bramerton / Brambertuna / Brambretuna / Brambretvna / Brambuetvna / Broadmere

Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: [Bramerton] [...] at the Conquest [...] had a church and 24 acres of glebe, worth 2s. per annum. The church of St. Peter is a rectory capable of augmentation [...] The church and steeple were totally rebuilt in 1462." Blomefield (ibid.) names the first recorded rector, "Ric de Overton", who resigned in 1305. The font is noted in the English Heritage entry [Listing NGR: TG2959704686] [www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-227142-church-of-st-peter-bramerton-norfolk] [accessed 24 April 2013]: "Octagonal font bowl with, on the underside, fleurons and seaweed foliage carving. C20 octagonal plinth." The octagonal basin is plain, except for the noted floral and foliage clusters at the underbowl angles; the rest of the font, plain pedestal base and moulded lower base [not a plinth proper], are modern. {NB: we have no information on the font from the Domesday-time church here].
