The Victoria County History (Cambridge and the Isle of Ely, vol. 9, 1989) notes: "The church, which has always remained a rectory, although at first some incumbents were styled vicars, […] belonged from the 12th century to Ramsey abbey […] The lower west wall of the tower contains herringbone masonry, probably surviving from a 12th-century building. […] The plain octagonal font received in the early 17th century a cover with curving arches." Dated as 14th-century and illustrated in the Grirton Village Website [http://www.girton-cambs.org.uk/churches/StAndrews/history.html] [accessed 26 October 2007]: "14th century octagonal stone font [...] The font may have been installed in its present position, the centre of the earlier church, at about the time of the first recorded baptism which was in 1298"
