Bayfield [alternative spelling] has two entries in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG0540/bayfield/] [accessed 20 January 2014], but there is no mention of either church or cleric in them. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church is dedicated to St. Margaret, and was formerly valued with a portion of Peter le Curson, at 5l. 10s. Peter-pence, 5d. The present valor 4l. and is at present demolished [...] In 1331, and 1320, William de Calthorp occurs rector." The earliest reference to the church in Blomefield (ibid.) is 1286, in relation to "the advowson of the church of St. Margaret of Bayfield". Pevsner & Wilson (1997) state that the church "was still in use in 1603 but in ruins by the end of the C18". [NB: we have no information on the font of the original church here].
