Font Notes:
There are two entries for this Stainfield [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF1073/stainfield/] [accessed 17 April 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for this House of Benedictine nuns in the Victoria County History (Lincoln, vol. 2, 1906) notes: "The priory of Stainfield was founded by William or Henry de Percy, in or before the reign of Henry II.[i.e., 1154-1189] It was the only Benedictine nunnery in Lincolnshire [...] In 1392 Bishop Bokyngham forbade merchants to sell their wares in the conventual church". It was dissolved in 1536 and nothing remains of the priory church itself, the site having been re-built as Stainfield Hall by Sir Robert Tyrwhitt accorcing to Historic England [www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=1058727] [accessed 17 April 2019]. The present-day Parish Church of St Andrew is a 19th-century re-building of a 18th-century church on a different site; it has a modern font.
