No individual entry found for this St. Lawrence in the Domesday survey. Cox (1911) notes: "A detached holy-water stoup of 15th century date stands at the west end, near to the large rather clumsy font of the same period." An illustration of unknown source, though probably a 19th-century source, shows two possibly medieval objects from this church: a font and a stoup; the stoup appears to be monolithic, with three defined volumes: basin, stem and slightly splaying lower base, all plain and square, the angles chamfered on all three volumes; one side of the basin is badly damage, part of it broken off.
