There are five entries for Hawkedon [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TL7952/hawkedon/] [accessed 11 April 2019] one of which reports "0.5 churches. 0.12 church lands" in it. Parker (1855) notes: "The font is an irregular octagon, built into the north doorway; the south side has some flat carving, probably N[orman]." Noted in a 27 April 1860 visit by the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and Natural History reported in The Gentleman's Magazine (issue no. CCVIII, of June 1860: 605): "a singular font of the Norman period, which has been engraved in one of the earlier numbers of the Institute's Journal, in illustration of a paper on fonts contributed to the meeting at Clare by J.H.P. Oakes Esq." Noted in Cautley (1938) and (1982). Noted in Pevsner (1975). In Mortlock (1988- ). Described and illustrated in Knott (2007?). Described and illustrated in Baxter (2008), in The Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland: "The font is by the carvers of the Little Thurlow font. The original decoration of the font remains unfinished; only the carving of the W face is complete, that on the E and S faces is roughed out by inscribed lines, and the decoration of the N face is somewhere in between these two states. In its original state the bowl was square, but at some later time the lower rim was chamfered on all faces except the E, and the NW and SW angles were chamfered off."
