The Victoria County History (Huntingdon, vol. 2, 1932) notes: "Although not mentioned by name in the Domesday Survey, the church is without doubt one of the two churches recorded under the manor of Hartford. Of this building, however, nothing remains, the earliest part of the present church being the south wall of the nave, probably of the 13th century, and the north and east walls of the chancel dating from late in the same century. [...] The church was restored about 1851. [...] The late 12th-century font has a square bowl ornamented with crude carvings, supported on an octagonal central and four angle shafts, the latter with cushion caps and similar inverted bases." Noted in Pevsner (1968): "Font. Square, with tapering sides. Norman stylized leaves on the sides, including on three sides colonnettes to separate the leaf motifs." The lower base appears modern.
