Blomefield (1805-1810) quotes the Domesday entry for 'Herkeham' (fol. 211) in the Hundred of Shropham, and notes: "The Church is dedicated to all the Saints, and it hath a nave, chancel, and south porch tiled, a square tower, and three bells", and gives "Sir Walter" as the first recorded rector in 1281. The Domesday entry for this place mentions neither church nor priest in it. Kelly's Directory of 1883 reports "the church restored in 1874 [...] the old tower remains a ruin standing apart from the church." A font here is listed in Tyrrell-Green (1928) as a decagonal mounted baptismal font. The font is described in English Heritage [Listing NGR: TM0199291350 -- 16.7.58 II*]: "Decagonal plain font
on circular stem and decagonal moulded astragals and base."
