There is an entre for Arminghall [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG2504/arminghall/] [accessed 10 June 2014] but it mention neither church nor cleric in it. Blomefiled (1805-18110) writes: "The church is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin, and was appropriated by John de Grey Bishop of Norwich, to the chamberlain of that monastery [...] The church is eleven yards long, and five and an half broad, the chancel is seven yards long, and the same breadth as the church, and are both thatched; there is a square tower about 35 feet high, and three bells, but no isles or porch." [John de Grey or Gray was bishop of Norwich and justiciar of Ireland; died in 1214]. Blomefield (ibid.) names "Sir Ralf" first recorded vicar, in 1313. The present font is a replacement of J.P. Seddon's restoration of the 1870s; shallow octagonal basin on a slender octagonal pedestal base; octagonal, flat and plain wooden cover; modern. Illustrated in Knott (2006) [NB: the church here goes back to the early-13th century, but we have no information on its earlier font]
