There are two entries for Frenze [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey, fol.77 [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TM1380/frenze/] [accessed 2 April 2014], but neither mentions a church or cleric in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) notes a church dedicated to St. Andrew the Apostle: "a small building, of equal height, covered with tile; and having no steeple, the bell hangs on the outside of the roof, at the west end: there is no partition between the church and chancel, but there is a beam fixed across the east chancel window, on which the rood was conveniently placed. The church is about 24 yards long, and 7 yards wide; the south porch is tiled." Blomefield (ibid.) notes the first registered rector, John the Petestre, in 1294, but mentions no font in it. The present font is described in Pevsner & Wilson (1999): "Font. Octagonal, with elementary, very flat blind tracery of the late C13 or early C14." Noted and illustrated in Knott (2005). The underbowl with graded moulding; octagonal stem decorated with fluting all around; moulded lower base; on a tall but narrow octagonal plinth.
