Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church is dedicated to St. Butolph; Norwich Domesday tells us, that the rector of the mediety had a house and 12 acres of glebe [...] The church consists of a nave and chancel, both which are leaded, the south porch is tiled, the tower is square [...] about 50 feet high." Blomefield (ibid.) names "Nic. de Hedersete" as first recorded rector, in 1308. The present font is noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1999): "Octagonal, C14, with blind tracery." Illustrated in Knott (2006). The font consists of an octagonal basin with vertical sides covered in quatrefoil tracery, moulded underbowl, raised on an octagonal stem with trefoiled arches on the sides; on a three-step octagonal plinth. The wooden cover has a flat octagonal platform with four vertical scroll ribs around a centre pivot; appears modern (Victorian?). [NB: we have no information on the font from the earlier church here].
