Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "T[acolneston], Commonly called Tackelston, [...] belonged to Stigand the Bishop, in the Confessor's time [i.e., 1042-1066] The church is dedicated to all the Saints; when Norwich Domesday was wrote, Hugh de Dovedale was patron [...] The church was rebuilt about 1503, for there were about that time, many legacies given to the foundation of the church of Tacolneston. The tower is square and hath five bells in it; the nave and chancel are thatched, the south isle is leaded, and the south porch tiled." Blomefield (ibid.) names "Hugh de Dovedale, accolite" as the first recorded rector, in 1310." The present font in this church is noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1999): "Font. Octagonal, with elementary motifs, perhaps C17." Illustrated in context in Knott (2006). The font consists of an octagonal basin with deeply-carved panels containing a variety of motifs: heart, quatrefoil, blank shield, etc., and a moulded underbowl, raised on a moulded octagonal pedestal base with blank rectangular panels on the sides, and a moulded lower base. Octagonal plinth. The Church of England site A Church Near you [www.achurchnearyou.com/tacolnestonallsaints/] [accessed 28 August 2009] mentions a 15th-century font, but it is an unlikely date for this font. [NB: we have no information on the font from the medieval church here].
