[NB: there seems to be some confusion in listing Hartest All Saints and Boxted Holy Trinity churches -- the Church of England site
notes: "All Saints Hartest is unusual in that it sits in the lowest part of the village. If you have problems finding it just look for the Crown public house and we are to its left. Holy Trinity Boxted has been linked with All Saints for over a thousand years, but retains its own character and unique features."] There is an entry for this Boxted in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL8250/boxted/], but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. Parker (1855) notes a plain font of the Perpendicular period in this church. Knott (2009) [www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/boxted.html] [accessed 13 June 2018] mentions no font in this church.
