No entry for Nailstone found in the Domesday survey. A font here is noted and illustrated in Upcott (1818). Described in Pevsner (1984): "Font. Octagonal, with rolls or ribs up the edges of the bowl. Disused." Noted and illustrated in Leicestershire Churches [www.leicestershirechurches.co.uk/nailstone-church-all-saints/] [accessed 19 August 2015]: "The medieval font is still present but not now used it probably dates from the 13th century and is now placed on a log as it is missing its base. The Victorian font is by the side near the south doorway."
