Click to view
There are two entries for Sharrington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG0336/sharrington/] [accessed 29 January 2014], neither of which mentions a church or cleric in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church is a rectory dedicated to All-Saints"; the earliest mention related to the church here is to the namng of the first recorded rector: "In 1323, Simon de Morton instituted, presented by John de Broughton." The present font is illustrated in Knott (2006); octagonal font is of general Perpendicular design but of late-Victorian manufacture [NB: we have no information on the font of the original church here].
