Church Notes: round-tower church -- church here noted in Domesday [cf. FontNotes]
Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The church, which is dedicated to all the Sain's, and hath a nave 11 yards long and 6 yards wide, with a chancel and south porch, all tiled; a steeple, round at bottom and octangular at top, in which are two bells. [...] By the font there are two stones for, Robert Hammond Gent. 15 Aug. 1678", and names "Robert de Tivile, rector", i.e., first recorded rector, in 1275. The Domesday entry (fol. 237) cited in Blomefield (ibid.) reports a church with some land ["i. ecclesia de xiii.acr. terre"] in 'Intweda'/ 'Intewida. The present baptismal font, illustrated in Knott (2007), consists of an octagonal basin with cusped panels and heavily moulded and an octagonal pedestal base with attached colonnettes; the underbowl has angel demi-figures at the angles. The low-dome wooden cover constrasts in its darkness with the light stone of the font itself. Both are modern, perhaps from the mid-19th century restoration of the church which, originally, may date from the 12th century [NB: we have no information on the font from the Domesday-time church here].
