Noted in the RCHM (1926). The Victoria County History (Huntingdon, vol. 2, 1932) writes: "Of the church mentioned in the Domesday Survey (1086), which was probably of timber, nothing remains, but about the year 1100 a stone church consisting of a chancel and an aisle-less nave was built, of which the chancel arch and part of the north wall of the nave remain. Some fifty years later the chancel was rebuilt and widened and an arcade cut into the nave wall and a north aisle built. [...] The font is a plain square bowl possibly of c. 1150, on a modern stem and base; it has a 17th-century pyramidal oak cover." Pevsner (1968) [after the RCHM, 1926] notes only the font cover: "Jacobean, with nicely decorated ribs". In the CRSBI (2008): Romanesque square basin mounted on a modern pedestal; the CRSBI notes the repairs to the upper rim of the basin, "testifying the removal of a lock".
