The Victoria County History (Essex, vol. 7, 1978) notes: "The [present] church of All Saints, the Chase, was built in 1873–5 on the site of its predecessor, which had the same dedication. [...] The earliest reference to a church in Cranham occurs in 1254. [...] The old church, which apparently dated from the 13th century, comprised nave, chancel, south porch, and short weatherboarded west tower." The VCH entry does not mention a font in this church. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of this church].
