Font Notes:
Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church is an old single building of flint and pebbles, covered with reed; it was first dedicated to St. Bartholomew, and after rededicated to St. Peter; John de Langetot was patron. [...] at the west end is a square tower of the aforesaid materials, with quoins and battlements of freestone, in which hang three bells. [...] In the 3d of Edward I. [i.e., 1275] John Langetoth was lord"; and the first recorded rector, "Stephen de Langetot", is dated in this source in 1304. The present font is modern, an octagonal basin with carved sides, raised on a round dark-marble pedestal, an octagonal lower base and a plinth of the same shape; apears Victorian. [NB: we have no information on the font from the late-13th century church here].
