There is an entry for Thrussington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK6415/thrussington/] [accessed 27 August 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The baptismal font here consists of an octagonal basin that is plain except for a human head that protrudes from one of the sides [is it carved from the stone? added later?], the underbowl rounded; raised on a Victorian columnar base with moulded capitals and bases, and a round plinth, also modern. The wooden cover is octagonal, pillbox shaped, with three quatrefoils per side and a crenellated top.
