There are four entries for Northill [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL1446/northill/] [accessed 16 September 2015], none of which mention cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Bedfordshire, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The advowson of the church of Northill belonged to the Trailly family, and followed the same descent as the principal manor [...] Its valuation in the 13th century was £16 13s. 4d. [...] The [present] church is a beautiful and dignified building, begun about 1330." There is no font mentioned in the VCH entry (ibid.) The Bedford County Council site [www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/CommunityArchives/Northill/NorthillChurchAdditionsAndAlterations.aspx] [accessed 16 September 2015] notes: "A new basin for the font was bought in 1823 [...] In 1827 the medieval font was replaced by a modern one [P10/5/4]. It did not last long, being replaced in 1858 by one in memory of the late rector, John Taddy. It is a copy of the font in Wymington church. The font of 1827 was then demoted for use as a plinth for the sundial donated by James Calamy about 1685." [NB: we have no other information on the font of the original 13th-century church here].
