There are three entries for Ottringham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TA2624/ottringham/] [accessed 31 July 2014], two of which report a priest and a church in each. A font here is noted in Glynne's visit to this church, probably in 1841, (in Butler, 2007): "The font is octagonal, with the sides panelled and containing shields". Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. English Heritage [Listing NGR: TA2677724428] (1966) notes: "Parish church. C12 sections to nave and chancel, C13 arcades; early C14 tower, spire, south aisle, south porch and rebuilding to chancel; C15 north aisle, clerestory, south chapel.
