The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 6, pt. 2, 1986) notes: "Ashington originated as a chapelry of Washington: the church was called a chapel c. 1190 [...] A rectory was established c. 1190 [...] In 1871-2 it was rebuilt to the present plan on a much larger scale [...]." The VCH (ibid.) further notes that there is "a reset holy water stoup of the 14th or 15th century.: and that the "medieval font was removed before c. 1950 to St. Michael's church, Partridge Green". [cf. Index entry for Partridge Green for the possible location of the missing font here].
