The Victoria County History (Huntingdon, vol. 2, 1932) notes: "The church is mentioned in the Domesday Survey (1086), but this early church was rebuilt in the middle of the 12th century as a chancel and aisled nave, the greater part of which still exists. [...] A general restoration took place in 1865 [...] The modern font is a plain octagon on a stem composed of a group of four clustered shafts." The Victoria County History has another entry for this church under Everton (Bedford, vol. 2, 1908), where it notes: "The font stood in the west bay of the south arcade as at present." [NB: we have no information on the medieval font(s) here].
