There are three entries for Paston [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG3234/paston/] [accessed 29 April 2014], one of which reports a church and churchlands in it. Blomefield (1905-1810) writes: "The church was a rectory, dedicated to St. Margaret, [...] it consists of one isle, and a chancel covered with reed, has a square tower and 5 bells [...] and was granted by Bartholomew de Glanvile to Bromholm priory, with 52 acres of land, and being appropriated, a vicarage was settled". The present font is described in Pevsner & Wilson (1997): "Octagonal. Late C14. Panelled stem, two-light mouchette tracery patterns on each side of the bowl." The graded lower base and the two-step plinth appear modern, as does the plain flat cover.
