There are four entries for [Great and Little] Easton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/great-and-little-easton/] [accessed 12 August 2015], two of which report a priest in each, but not a corresponding church, though there probably were there. The Brentwood U3A website [http://brentwoodu3a.org.uk] [accessed 6 July 2010]: "1899 Stone Font with a cover of Elm recently presented to the church." [NB: we have no information on the font of the Domesday-time church here].
