The Ecclesiologist (vol. 67, 1848: 200) reports the re-building of the church here at the time, and the introduction of a new font in the tower "with a lofty canopy", and adds: "We regret that the old one [font? cover?] of fair Third-Pointed work should not have been repaired and retained. It now stands in the sacristy filled with rubbish." The Frittenden Parish Council notes: "The church [...] is first recorded in the White Book of St Augustine’s c1200". [NB: we have no other information on the whereabouts of the medieval font here].
