There are eight entries for Papworth [Everard and St Agnes] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/papworth-everard-and-st-agnes/] [accessed 5 July 2016]; there is no mention of a church in any of the entries but two of the them has priests as lords in 1066, Aelfric and Godwin, which probably means there were two pre-Conquest churches there. The RCHM (1968) notes: "Font: plain octagonal bowl and stem, 13th-century." The Victoria County History (Camnridge and the Isle of Ely, vol. 9, 1989) notes: "The church probably belonged by the 12th century to the Richmond fee […] The church of St. Peter, so named from the early 13th century, [...] was probably rebuilt soon after 1300. It was reconsecrated in 1352 [...] A plain octagonal 13th-century font, surviving in 1982, stood by the south door in 1745".
