There is an entry for [North] Reston [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF3883/north-reston/] [accessed 28 July 2019]; it reports a church in it. Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989) notes: "Font. Octagonal, Perp[endicular], with on each side three cusped niches and above them, as tracery, six tiny ones." [NB: the font described in Pevsner... must be modern]. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF3828483728] notes: "Parish church, now closed. C11, largely rebuilt 1868 by R. T. Withers, with some reused early medieval material. [...] All fittings are C19."
