Noted in Pevsner (1968): "Font. Octagonal, Perp, with plain quatrefoils"The existence of a church with a priest at Ripton is recorded in the Domesday Survey (1086). [...] Although there was a church here at the time of the Domesday Survey (1086), the earliest evidence in the present building is of a church gradually reconstructed and enlarged during the third and fourth decades of the 13th century. This church, which consisted, apparently, of a chancel, nave, south aisle with south porch, and perhaps a north aisle, was dedicated by the Bishop of Lincoln in 1242. [...] The church was restored by subscription in 1858 [...] The font has an octagonal bowl with a quatrefoil in each face, and probably dates from the 15th century."
