There is an entry for Burstwick [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TA2227/burstwick/] [accessed 27 July 2014], but it mentions neither church nor cleric in it. A font is noted in Glynne's 29 April 1872 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007): "The font has a circular bowl on a stem". Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. The font consists of a plain round basin slightly wider at the top and rounded at underbowl, raised on a plain cylindrical stem and a graded lower base. The basin has been repaired with at least one large stone insert, probably the area where the old cover staple was originally located. The wooden font cover is round, with a small pyramidal finial; modern.
