Blomefield (1805-1810) reports that in the Domesday survey of 1086, Earl Warren held "the moiety of a church endowed with 3 acres" here, and writes; "The Church is dedicated to All-Saints, and is a rectory [...] It has a nave, with a north isle, and a square tower with two bells." Blomefield (ibid.) names "Richard de Reppes" as the first recorded rector, in 1325. The present font is noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1997): "1861-3 by Butterfield, close in style to one illustrated in 'Instrumenta ecclesiastica'". Illustrated in Knott (2006). The font consists of an octagonal basin with plain chamfered upper and lower rims, raised on a central shaft with clustered colonnettes with moulded caps and bases, and a square lower base. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with metal decoration and ring handle; probably contemporary with the font. [NB: the fabric of the church goes back to the 12th century but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
