There are three entries for Stanningfield [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TL8756/stanningfield/] [accessed 1 January 2020], one of which reports "1 church. 0.13 church lands" in it. Parker (1855) mentions no font in this church. It is listed in Cautley (1982) in a group of 15th-century heraldic fonts in Suffolk. Noted and illustrated in Knott (2008]: "The splendid 15th century font carries familiar tracery patterns, but also the shield of the Rookwoods on the east side"
