Font Notes:
There are two entries for this Hanworth [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TG1935/hanworth/] [accessed 28 May 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church was formerly a rectory [...] and dedicated to St. Bartholomew. The prior and convent of Thetford, had a portion of tithe in King Edward the First's time [i.e., 1272-1307] [...], valued at 3 marks per ann. and at that time the prior of Hickling held it appropriated to him with 30 acres of land, when there was a vicar who had a house, but no land". The present font here is illustrated in Knott (2005). The baptismal font consists of an octagonal basin that appears to have been drastically re-cut, raised on a central shaft and four angle colonnettes, all polygonal and plain, and an octagonal plinth. The font may be of the same date as the fabric of the present church, the 14th century. The wooden cover is flat, octagonal and plain; appears modern. This font is not noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1997).
