There are four entries for Thrigby [variant spelling] in the Domesday book [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG4612/thrigby/] [accessed 3 June 2014], one of which mentions a church and churchlands in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The church and chancel is covered with reed, and has a square tower. [...] The church is a vicarage, dedicated to St. Mary, the rectory was appropriated to Langley abbey". The present font is noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1997): "Octagonal, plain, with two patterns of quatrefoils. The stem at least recut."
