Font Notes:
There are six entries for Burgh [-le-Marsh] [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF5065/burgh-le-marsh/] [accessed 8 October 2018], one of which reports a church in it. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF5008265010] notes: "Parish church. c.1500, 1702, late C18, restored c.1871. [...] C19 octagonal font with ornate octagonal font cover of c.1623, openwork with paired fluted columns, semi-circular headed archways, foliate and fretwork ornament; 4 sides to west are hinged and open up for baptisms; obelisks above and eagle with (possibly) inkhorn and sandbox in beak." There is a large fragment of an old basin standing on its side against the south wall of the south aisle, just west of the south doorway; we have no information on whether it even belongs in this church but it could be medieval; it may noe be part of the font of the Domesday-time church here, but it appears to be medieval.
