Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "Itteringham, At the Confessor's survey this town was divided into three parts or manors [...] In In the reign of Henry II. the Earl Warren enfeoffed the ancestor of the family of Wolterton in this, who had a third part or portion in the advowson of the church, and this part passed (as may be seen in Wolterton) together with their manor there, through many hands, to James Grey, Esq. and from his sisters to the Honourable Horace Walpole, Esq. [...] The Curch was dedicated to St. Agnes, and after rededicated to the Virgin Mary, the chancel and church is covered with lead, there has been a chapel on the north side, now in ruins; the tower is square and has three bells. [...] The rectory had three portions, and on each a rector instituted for many years." Blomefield (ibid.) names the first recorded rectors of the three parts: 1)"Tho. de Wolterton", in 1301; 2)"Wm. de Boton", in 1227; 3)"Rt. de Skeyton", in 1275. The present font here is noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1997): "Octagonal and plain, but with a simple C17 cover." The font has a single moulding where the underbowl meets the pedestal base, and two broad mouldings on the splaying lower base; on an octagonal plinth. The font cover consists of an octagonal platform with eight raised scroll ribs around a central pivot, with an acorn-shaped finial.
