There are ten entries for [Market, Middle and West] Rasen in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF1089/market-middle-and-west-rasen/] [accessed 25 December 2018]; one of the ten, in the lordship of Wadard and chief tenancy of Odo, bishop of Bayeux, in 1086, reports "1 church. 0.12 church lands" in it" [NB: these ten survey entries refer to the different -Market, Middle and West- Rasens as "In Rasa" or "In Rase" or "In altera Rase" witout individual identification]. Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989) report a "Font. Perp[endicular], octagonal, quite plain" in this church. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF0649489303] notes: "Parish Church; possibly C11, C12, C13, C14, C15, C18, 1829/30, 1860. [...] The C12 north arcade has clearly been inserted into the north wall giving this a possible Cll date. [...] The font is a plain octagonal C15 type."
