Little Paxton

The Victoria County History (Huntingdon, vol. 2, 1932) notes: "The church is not mentioned in the Domesday Survey (1086), but a stone church was standing here towards the end of the 12th century, of which considerable parts of the chancel walls remain, together with the reset south door of the church. [...] Little Paxton is a chapelry belonging to the church of Great Paxton. [...] Before 1279, the free-tenants of Little Paxton gave 30 acres of their demesne lands to the mother church, in order to found a chantry in the chapel to provide for the administration of all sacraments, etc., only burials being reserved to the rector. [...] The 13th-century font is a plain octagon standing on a square central and three octagonal shafts. It has a 17th-century oak cover repaired with deal." The font cover is painted.
