The All Saints Church in Naezing where many of our ancestors were
members still has the original baptismal font. I was told that the
base dates to the 1100s, if my memory serves correctly, during
the time of the Norman invasion. The font itself is from the early
1500s. It has a drain in the base so the water can be directly
released under the floor. I could just imagine the little heads
of our ancestors being held over it.
The transcription of the baptimal, marriage and death records
from the 1500s at All Saints have the named spelled with a "C".
I have not seen the originals or do not know if they still exist.
There was also a record of a Camp poaching stag in Epping
Forest (near Naezing) during the reign of Henry VIII.
Again, I've only seen transcriptions, not originals.
I've also heard that there was a french version: deCamp.
For what its worth,
