There are five entries for this place in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG4523/horsey/] [accessed 14 January 2014] with three churches in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church is dedicated to All-Saints, and was a rectory. Peter Bardulph was rector in the 13th year of King John [i.e., 1212], and had been presented to it by Godwin de Horsey: his son and heir, Adam, gave it to the priory of Hickling, and was appropriated thereto, and a vicarage was settled, in the reign of Edward I [i.e., 1272-1307]. [NB: the transcription of two Domesday entries in Blomefield, one under "Terra Rogeri Bigoti" and the other under "Terra Willi. Epici" do not include a church in them]. The present font is listed in Tyrrell-Green (1928). Described in Pevsner & Wilson (1997): "Octagonal, with one recessed trefoiled arch to each facet of the stem and two similar arches to each bowl panel, in the 13th century style. The trefoils have ogees, so the date is in fact mid-C14". Noted and illustrated in Knott (2006). The font stands on a tall octagonal plinth. The wooden cover is octagonal, plain and flat.
