The entries for "Tirninga", "Turninga" and "Tyrninga" make no mention of church or cleric in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) notes that "In the 9th year the King [...] purchased of William, the prior of Norwich, 50 acres of land, with 27s. and 7d. rent, and the advowson of this church, by fine"; the king was Edward I, therefore a church here is documented by 1291, the 9th year of Edward's reign. The present font here is illustrated in Knot (2006) It is a 19th-century replacement of its former medieval one; it consisits of a small octagonal moulded basin on a tall and slender octagonal pedestal stem and a moulded base; octagonla plinth, also modern. The wooden cover is an octagonal pyramid with carved sides and finial; modern. [NB: we have no information on the original font of the medieval church]
