The Domesday survey reports two priests and two churches in Fulbeck [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SK9450/fulbeck/] [accessed 4 November 2013]. The present font here is reported in Lewis' Dictionary of 1848 as "a very fine Norman font". Knight (1867) notes: "The font is Norman." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. Noted in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989): "A splendid piece, due, however, perhaps to re-tooling. Transitional, of drum shape, with four polygonal angle shafts. In the fields between intersecting arches, a leaf band above, and above that a rope moulding, except in one quarter where there is dogtooh instead (cf. Coleby, near Lincoln)." Pevsner et al. (ibid.) also note that a fragment of stone built into the north wall, by the pulpit, may be part of an early square font. Some (?) of the restored arches are slightly pointed; the columns supporting the arcade vary in decoration (moulded, torsade); the corner shafts and their bases are octagonal, but their capitals are square with stiff-leaf sides.
