There are eight entries for Dalinghoo [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TM2654/dallinghoo/] [accessed 19 November 2023]; of the eight, the entry for Count Alan of Brittsny reports "1 church. 0.24 church lands" in it. Parker (1855) reports an octagonal font "with panelled bowl" in this church. The present font, illustrated in Knott (2008), is modern and must be the one reported in Kelly's Directory of 1883: "the handsome carved stone font was erected by the parishioners in 1868". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TM2660654979] notes: "Church. Late Cll/early C12 with early C14 and C15 and C19 additions and alterations [...] The eastern chancel is now demolished and the base of the tower serves as a chancel"; it mentions no font in it. [NB: we have no information on the panelled font noted in Parker]
