Described in the Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 3, 1930): "There was a priest in Barnwell St. Andrew in 1086 [...] but no direct mention of the church itself seems to be preserved before 1178 when Pope Alexander confirmed to Ramsey Abbey among many other of its possessions Barnwell with its church. [...] No part of the [present] building is older than the 13th century [...] The font is of early 14th century date, and has a richly ornamented bowl with cusped and crocketed niches on seven sides, the west face being blank." Noted in Mee (1945): "The font is beautiful with boldly carved niches." In Pevsner (1973): "Font. Dec[orated]. Octagonal with eight flat crocketed gables and flowers at the foot."
