The Victoria County History (Essex, vol. 4, 1956) notes: "The dedication suggests that there was a church at Beauchamp Roding before the Norman Conquest [...] The nave is built on an 11th- or 12th-century plan but the present structure probably dates from the 14th century"; the VCH entry does not mention a font in it. The present font is located towards the west end of the nave, on the south side; it consists of an octagonal basin with plain vertical sides and a moulded underbowl chamfer; raised on a plain broad octagonal stem, and a moulded lower base also octagonal; the whole font is whitewashed; it is of a design that is difficult to date, especially if it has been re-cut; it could be 15th century or 19th century. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with metal decoration and ring handle; probably Victorian. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font]
