Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "Ashmanhaw [...] is not mentioned in the Conqueror's survey [...] The Church is dedicated to St. Swithin, and was a rectory appropriated to the abbot of Holm, and valued in the reign of Edward I [i.e. 1272-1307]. at 5 marks; Peter-pence 12d. and is now in the see of Norwich"; the only date associated with the time of the church is the period referred to above. The church, however, appears to go back to the Norman period. Knott (2005) notes a "birdbath font", probably 20th-century [NB: we have no information of the earlier font(s) of this church].
