No entry found for Reach in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Cambridge and the Isle of Ely, vol. 10, 2002) notes: "Probably in the 1220s the rector of St. Mary's, Burwell, with the consent of his patron, the abbot of Ramsey, agreed that his parishioners at the 'vill' of Reach might have a chapel, in which a chaplain supplied by the rector would serve weekly. […] That was presumably the origin of the chapel of St. John, standing north-east of Reach green, on the Burwell side." The VCH (ibid.) shows masses were regularly said at the chapel in all periods, but it is not clear what other sacraments were performed there. The original font, together with most of the medieval church, has disappeared. The curent font is probably contemporary with the new High Victorian church. It consists of a ribbed hemispherical basin raised on a baluster pedestal base.
