Scene Description: this photograph was probably taken before the restorations of 1904 and 1914; the tower had been reported missing already in Blomefield [cf. FontNotes], who would have visited this church in mid-18th century [NB: the credit statement was trimmed off in both the print copy and the digital version available -- all that remains is: "From a photograph by [...]"]

Church Notes: according to Plunkett [cf. Images Area] the early church here was "Restored from a ruinous state in 1904 and 1914" -- there was no steeple in Blomefiled time [ca. 1750?]
The Domesday entry for "Muleslai", transcribed and translated in Blomefield (1805-1810) reports "a church, endowed with 12 acres" in it. Blomefield (ibid.) adds: "The church is a rectory. In the reign of Edward I.[i.e., 1272-1307] the rector had a competent house, with an acre, and 30 perches of ground, also 12 acres of land [...] The Church is a single pile, covered with lead, the chancel with reed; there is no steeple, but in the churchyard are 3 bells in a frame." The present font is noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1997) with date in the 14th century. Lingwood ([1908?]) notes: "picturesque ruined church [...] dedicated to All Saints [...] ancient font, which has celebrated its 500th birthday." Baptismal font consisting of a plain octagonal basin with a graded underbowl, raised on a plain octagonal stem and graded lower base. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with moulded sides; modern. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original 11th-century(?) church here].
