There are seven entries for Framingham [Earl and Pigot] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/framingham-earl-and-pigot/] [accesseed 7 December 2014], of which only one, the part in the lordship of Turold and tenancy of Roger Bigot, reports a church and church lands in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The church is very small, and never had a steeple, but a bell hanging on the outside, in an arch at the west end. The nave is only eleven yards long and seven broad; the chancel six yards square; both, as the south porch, are tiled: this is also dedicated to St. Andrew"; and there is an indirect mention of a font in this church in 1501: "In 1501, Stephen Stamford was buried between the font and the church-door." Blomefield (ibid.) names "Tho. le Bygod" as first recorded rector here, in 1244. Illustrated in Knott (2006). A Victorian rendition of a 13th-century square font design, white stone with marble colonnettes, probably of the 1859 renovation by Robert Kerr noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1999). [NB: we have no information on the earlier font(s)]
