There are four entries for Attlebridge [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG1216/attlebridge/] [accessed 9 April 2014], one of which reports a church and church lands in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) notes that the church was in William Bishop of Thetford's land, "a church with 60 acres [...] The Church is dedicated to St. Andrew, and was a rectory [...], granted by Heymer, rector of Felthorp, to the priory of Norwich [...] It was appropriated to the use of Elemosunary, June 5, 1236, by Thomas Bishop of Norwich. [...] John Fitz Walter de Kaund, occurs rector in the time of Nicholas, prior of Norwich [...] The church has a nave and one isle covered with lead, the chancel tiled; at the west end is a tower foursquare, and embattled." The present modern font is noted in Pevsner and Wilson (1997): "Font. Octagonal, dated 1866." Illustrated in Knott (2006). The sides of the octagonal basin are decorated with panels with inscribed trefoils at least one of which contains a Latin cross; the underbowl has a band of saw-tooth motif between mouldings; plain octagonal stem on moulded square lower base; octagonal plinth [NB: we have no information on the font of the early church here].
