There are five entries for Harling [East and West] [variant spelling in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/east-and-west-harling/] [accessed 29 June 2014], of which one, under the tenancy of William of Ecouis and the lordship of Ingulf, reports a church and churchlands in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) gives the Domesday entry (fo. 206) for 'Herlinga', which includes "a church and 4 acres of land belonging to it [=i. ecclesia iiii. acr. tunc valuit xxx.s. mo xl]"; Blomefield (ibid.) gives a brief description of the re-built church: "The Church is dedicated to St. Peter and Paul, and is a fine uniform building, having its nave, two isles, and south porch leaded, a square tower, with a spire thereon, and freestone ballisters instead of battlements; it was built by Sir William Chamberlain, as appears from the many blank shields, encompassed with the garter, cut on the stones, finished about 1449, but the bells were not put up till 1465", but mentions no font in it. A font in this church is noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1999): "Font. C15. Big, octagonal, with panelled stem and quatrefoils against the bowl.- Font cover. C17." Illustrated in Knott (2005). The basin has a moulded underbowl. Stands on an octagonal plinth. The wooden font cover has an acorn finial. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original church here].
