Font Notes:
Parker (1855) reports an octagnal font "with panelled bowl" in this church. Listed in Cox-Harvey (1907) as a heraldic font of the Perpendicular period; later in tha same source (ibid.: 220) it is listed with the Decorated period. The WEB site for Suffolkscan describes it as "font bearing the arms of the families of De Cornard, Ufford, De Burgh and De Vere." [NB: Cautley (1982) lists a heraldic font in Great Cornard, but the font at Gt. Cornard St. Andrew's appears not to have such badges -- to be resolved]
