Illustrated in a May 1839 image by Henry E. L. Dryden, now in the Sir Henry Dryden Collection, Northamptonshire. The Victoria County History (Bedford, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The earliest details [of this church] belong to a fine cruciform church of 12th-century date [...] At the west end of the nave is a modern painted octagonal font with traceried panels." [NB: we have no information on the 12th-century font]
