Blomefield (1805-1810) cites the content of one of Domesday entries for 'Kettlestuna', "a church, with 8 acres" reported in it, and adds: "The Church is dedicated to All-Saints, a rectory", with John of Arderne as its first recorded rector. A font is not mentioned in this source. Gough (1792) notes that the font "at Kettlestone is adorned with the arms of France and England quarterly, and others."Shields on the Font. V. Two keys in saltire, St. Peter. -- VI. Three mitres, two and one; in pale a crosier. See of Norwich. VII. Qoarterly : — 1 and 4, lyanee (modem) ; 2 and 3, England. -- VIII. Plain. -- IX. Emblem of the Trinity. -- X. Plain. -- XI. A cross. -- XII. Two swords in saltire, St. Paul." Described in Pevsner & Wilson (1997) as having "the symbol of the Trinity, a cross, the crossed swords, the crossed keys, the arms of Norwich (three mitres), and the arms of England quartering France". Knott (2005) writes: "The font is good, a heraldic affair from the very eve of the Reformation". The font consists of an octagonal basin with wertical sides decorated with a charged shield in each side; the underbowl has a graded chamfer followed down by a concave unadorned section that ends in a thin moulding at the start of the stem; the latter is also octagonal, each panel adorned with a blank trefoil arch or window; the lower base is octagonal and plain, with two volumes; plain octagonal plinth with kneeling stone. [NB: we have no information on the font from the early church here].
