Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The church is dedicated to St. Margaret, [...] The church hath no steeple, the nave is leaded, and the chancel thatched [...] There is a bell hanging in a wooden frame in the churchyard." A holy-water stoup in this church is noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1999): "Stoup. In S[outh] porch, round, Norman." [cf. Index entry for Hapton No. 2 for a later font in this church].
