Font Notes:
There are four entries for Creeton [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF0119/creeton/] [accessed 27 October 2018], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2018) notes: "However, the numerous Anglo-Saxon cross-shaft and grave-cover fragments found here argue for the existence of a pre-Conquest churchyard if not a church in Creeton." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF0145919880] notes: "Parish church. Late C12, early C13, late C13, C15, 1830 chancel
shortened, 1853 rebuilding of nave. [...] Built into the fabric are at least 5 pieces of C10 Anglo Saxon interlace decorated stone. [...] All fittings and roof are 1853 apart from C17 communion table and the C13 tub font on circular base with moulded octagonal top."
