[NB: we have no information on the original font of the Norman church] [Pevsner & Cherry (1973) show the dedication of the old (Norman?) church to St. Mary; there is a Church of St. Mary at nearby Weston-by-Welland, to which Sutton Bassett's All Saints was an annex -- Lewis (1848) also uses St. Mary's dedication for Sutton Bassett's church]]
