By Blomefield's time (1805-1810) this church was already in ruins: "the church, which is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin, being quite demolished, the ruins of the steeple, which was round" being the only thing standing. It is still the same today. Blomefield (ibid.) lists rectors going back as far as 1300 but we have no information on the font(s) of the original church here.
