Noted in Mee (1945): "There was probably a church here in Saxon times, for the font is from the 11th century". The Victoria County History (Northamptonshire, vol. 4, 1937) notes: "The earliest church appears to have been an aisled late-12th-century structure, evidences of which remain in the north arcade, the south doorway, and elsewhere. [...] The plain circular bucket-shaped font is apparently of 12th-century date; it is lead-lined and stands on a square masonry base".
