No entry found for Flyford Flavel in the Domesday survey. Noake (1868) mentions an octagonal font in this church. Miller (1890) reports a preserved Norman doorway and a 13th-century font, the date of the tower. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "With the exception of the 15th-century tower it was almost entirely rebuilt in 1883 at the expense of Mr. William Laslett of Abberton Hall, some of the old doors and windows being, however, reset. [...] The north doorway has a plain round 12th-century head reset [...] The moulded octagonal font is of 15th-century date." In Brooks & Pevsner (2007). English Heritage (1965) reports: "The octagonal font is C15 and has roses and fleurs-de-lis on the hollow-chamfered underside, but the stem and base are modern." Plain basin sides, moulded with floral motifs on the underbowl; on an octagonal-to-square pedestal base and an octagonal plinth. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with double handles; modern.
