Radcliffe / Radclive / Radeclif / Radecliue / Radeclive

There is an entry for Radcliffe [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SD7807/radcliffe/] [accessed 8 March 2019]; it reports two churches and "1.0 church lands" in it. The enrty for this township in the Victoria County History (Lancaster, vol. 5, 1911) notes: "The original church may have been a rectangular 12th century building covering the area of the present nave, with a small square-ended chancel. In the 13th century a new chancel, of which the western arch still remains, was built round the former one, and in the 14th century transepts were added to the nave, their length suggesting that the nave may by this time have had aisles. A tower may have been built towards the end of the 14th or beginning of the 15th century against the end of the original nave. [...] The fittings are all modern [...] The font, which is early modern Gothic, has a canopy (dated 1858) raised by a chain pulley and cannon-ball weight." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SD7969307580] notes: "C14, C15, C17 and C19. Chancel arch of Decorated period"; no font mentioned. [NB: we have no information on the font(s) of the medieval church(es) here].
