The Victoria County History (Huntingdon, vol. 2, 1932) notes: "The church is mentioned in the Domesday Survey (1086), but the earliest parts now standing are the nave arcades, that on the south c. 1260 and on the north c. 1280; and the aisle walls built at the same time probably remain, although much altered. [...] The octagonal font is modern (1853), but in the churchyard is a much-broken ancient octagonal bowl." The Parish web site [http://sites.google.com/site/allsaintsofford/guided-tour] [accessed 25 April 2012] informs: "The FONT is late Victorian; a more ancient one is now in the churchyard." [NB: we have not been able to locate any further information on the churchyard font].
