No entry found for Lyndon in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Rutland, vol. 2, 1935) notes: "The building underwent a very extensive restoration in 1866 [...] and few original architectural features remain [...] The font is a relic of a 12th-century church, recovered at the restoration [...] was found buried in the churchyard in 1866. It is of 12th-century date, in the form of a capital, square at the top and circular below, the angles and each face of the upper part somewhat rudely carved with scrolled undulating and other ornament, and animals of archaic character on two of the sides. The bowl rests on modern supports. A discarded 18th-century baluster font is now in the churchyard."
