Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, hath a steeple round at bottom and octangular at top, and only one bell, two being lately sold, with the lead that covered the church, towards repairing it; so that the nave, chancel, and south porch, are tiled." Blomefield (ibid.) names "Ric. de Brom." the first recorded vicar here, in 1316. The present font, porobably from the 19th-century renovation of the church here, consists of an octagonal basin with trefoiled panels on the sides, raised on an octagonal pedestal base and a polygonal plinth. The plain octagonal cover with ring handle may also belong to the same period. [NB: the fabric of this church goes back to the 13th century, but we have no information on the original font].
