Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The church is a regular pile, having a nave, with a north and south isle of flint, &c. in length about 52 feet, and in breadth with the isles about 44 feet; the nave is laid with freestone, as are the passages between the north and the south doors, at the cost and charge of Mr. Raymond; the roof of the nave is of oak, and covered with lead, (as the whole church is) supported by tall octangular pillars, which form 8 lofty arches, four on a side; above are six windows, three on a side, over the pillars. At the west end of the nave is a four-square tower, of flint, &c. with quoins and embattlements of free-stone, and on them 8 stone pinnacles carved. In this tower hang five small tuneable bells, and the treble was the gift of Mr. Raymond, and has his arms cast on it [...] the church is divided from the chancel by a screen, which hath been curiously carved and painted, ornamented with canopywork and images; this chancel is in length about 38 feet, and in breadth about 20, hath a good roof of oak, covered with lead. [...] This church is dedicated to all the Saints, as appears from several wills: (fn. 18) there was also in the said town, in a place called BurhallField, a chapel dedicated to St. Edmund, [...] long since demolished". Blomefield (ibid.) names "John de Pikenham" as first recorded rector here, in 1265. The present font is noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1999): "Font. C15, octagonal, plain." Illustrated in Knott (1999). Octagonal basin with plain vertical sides, raised on an octagonal pedestal base with mouldings on the upper half; the lower base is octagonal-to-square; narrow rectangular plinth. The cover consists of a flat octagonal platform with raised metal scroll ribs; appears modern.
