Blomefield (1805-1810) includes Winston in his volumes on the county of Norfolk, in the hundred of Clavering: "The Church is dedicated to St. Andrew, and is a rectory. The rector, in the reign of Edward I.[i.e., 1272-1307] had 20 acres of land". The font here is noted in Parker (1855): "Font, plain, built into the north wall." A recent [9 March 2009] illustration of this font by Simon Knott [www.suffolkchurches.co.uk] shows a well-preserved [or re-tooled] octagonal basin with plain sides and moulded underbowl, raised on a plain octagonal stem and moulded lower base. This font is fully detached from the wall, raised on a modern plinth and topped with an octagonal pyramidal wooden cover. If the font is medieval it has been drastically re-tooled.
