Harrison (1920) writes: "The greater part of this church was destroyed by hghtning in 1663 and rebuilt in 1672. Part of tower and S[outh] doorway
are 12th c. [...] Font, 1666"; he further notes that the church was restored in 1841-1864. Sackville-West (1857) notes and illustrates a baptismal font in this church, but does not suggest a date for the font [NB: the illustration includes a cross formerly from Sanqueville, Normandy, but the font must be the 17th-century one mentioned below -- 'Sanqueville' may be the original Norman name of the local Sackville lineage]. Described in Whiteman (1994) as an octagonal font dated 1666. It probably replaced the original at this church after the 1663 destruction of the medieval church by lightning.
