Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church is dedicated to St. Andrew, and hath a square tower and four bells, the nave, south porch, and chancel, are leaded", and names "Boecius, rector of a mediety in Richard the First's time", i.e., 1189-1199. Pevsner & Wilson (1999) note: "Early C14, the bowl with quatrefoils on colonnettes." "a fine 14c font, with its bowl supported by a cluster of eight shafts. " [source: http://in-crete.110mb.com/tomfeise/tomhoni.htm [accessed 6 August 2009]]. [NB: we have no information on the font of the poriginal 12th-century church here -- there appears to be an early holy-water stoup wall-mounted onto a corner of the porch -- cf. entry for this church in Simon Knott's www.norfolkchurches.co.uk]]
