No entry for Iwade found in the Domesday survey. Halsted (1798) writes: "he church, which is dedicated to All Saints, is a small neat building, consists of two isles and two chancels, having a low pointed steeple, in which are two bells. There is some good painted glass in the windows of it. It was formerly esteemed as a chapel to the church of Tenham, and as such, was given and appropriated with it to the archdeaconry of Canterbury, by archbishop Stephen Langton, in 1227." On his visit to this church Glynne (1877) notes: "The font has an octagonal bowl, on stem of like form." Glynne (ibid.) also notes a stoup near the south door, but gives no details of it. The Iwade website [www.iwadevillage.co.uk/communitychurch.shtml] [accessed 10 February 2010] dates its font to the 15th century. [NB: we have no information on the font from the early-13th century church here].
