There are two entries for Brumstead [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG3626/brumstead/] [accessed 13 December 2013], the one for the Sutton manor reports three churches in it, one of which in Brumstead. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "B[runstead] Was a beruite to Roger Bigot's great lordship of Sutton, at the survey [...] a church endowed with 9 acres, &c. 8 acres of meadow [...] The Church is a rectory, dedicated to St. Peter. William Lord Montchensy was lord and patron in the reign of Edward I [i.e., 1272-1307]. The rector had a manse with 30 acres of land". Blomefield (ibid.) names "William de Lavenham" as the first recorded rector here, "presented by Sir Hugh de Veer", in 1306. The present font in this church is noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1997): "Font. C14. Octagonal; panelled stem, bowl with quatrefoils".
