No individual entry found for this Elm in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Cambridge..., vol. 4, 2002) notes: "The church of Elm with its chapel of Emneth was valued at £40 in c. 1217 [...] The fabric belongs mainly to the first and last quarters of the 13th century [...] All the fittings are modern and poor." The present [2004] baptismal in Elm All Saints' is obviously not the original one but a Victorian (?) replacement; it consists of an awkward combination of a rather shallow moulded polygonal basin raised on very broad shafts that have a vertical band of dogtooth (?) motif between them and fat moulded bases; on a polygonal 3-step plinth; wooden cover with raised scroll-work, probably Victorian as well. [NB: the church fabric goes back to the 13th century, but we have no information of the earlier font(s) of this church].urch and font]
