Weeting No. 2 / Weting / Wetinge

Blomefield (1805-1810) writes; "Weting All-Saints. This church stands at the north-east part of the town; it has a nave, and a north isle, covered with lead, and a chancel that is thatched, all built of flint stones, boulder, &c. At the west end of the nave stands an old wooden shod, or bellfry, in which hang four bells". Blomefield (ibid.) names the first recorded rector of this church 'Symon Peche', in 1313. [NB: we have no information on the font from the ols church here]. [NB: there may have been a third font in Bromehill Priory church, noted in Blomefield (ibid.): "It was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and St. Thomas the Martyr, Archbishop of Canterbury, for canons regular of the order of St. Augustine, and founded (as I take it) by Sir Hugh de Plaiz, in or about the reign of King John" [i.e., 1199-1216]].
