There is an entry for Reymerston [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG0106/reymerston/] [accessed 26 March 2014], but it mentions neither church nor cleric in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) notes: "The Church of Reymerston is a rectory, dedicated to St. Peter [...] The church has a nave, a north and south isle, with a chancel, and 5 bells [...] John de Reymerston conveyed by fine, in the 2d of Henry III. to Lettice, prioress of St. Radegund's in Cambridge, the advowson of this church", so the church here existed by 1218. Lewis' Dictionary of 1848 notes: "the font is handsomely sculptured." Described in Pevsner & Wilson (1999): "Octagonal. Stem with fleurons. At the foot were four lions, but only one remains. Bowl with the signs of the four Evangelists and four seated prophets. Remarkably crinkly hair." Described and illustrated in Knott (2006): "one of the finest fonts in these parts, probably early 15th century. The deeply cut panels alternate the evangelistic symbols with seated figures who may be prophets. What makes them extraordinary is their curly hair, which wouldn't be out of place in Art Deco sculpture."
