There is an entry for Stokesby in the Domesday book [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG4310/stokesby/] [accessed 3 June 2014], and it reports a church and churchlands in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) transcribes and translates the Domesday entry: "a church endowed with 24 acres of land, and 3 of meadow", and further adds: "The Church is dedicated to St. Andrew, and is a rectory, [...] and the priory of Longueville had a portion therein". The present font here is reported in White (1883) as modern. It consists of a plain square basin raiseed on a central shaft and four outer colonnettes, all with moulded capitals and bases, on a plain square lower base and an equally shaped plinth; all modern. [NB: we have no information on the font of the Domesday-period church here].
