There are three entries for Carleton [Forehoe] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG0805/carleton-forehoe/] [accessed 26 June 2014], neither of which mentions a church or cleric in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church was dedicated to St. Mary", and names "Rich. Thoke" as the first recorded vicar here, in 1301. The present font, octagonal and with carved sides, is modern. [...] The advowson of this church of Carleton, and one acre of land, was given by the foundress, Isabell, widow of Hugh de Albany Earl of Arundel, who in 1249 founded the nunnery of Marham, for Cistertian or white nuns, and dedicated it to St. Mary the Virgin, St. Barbara, and St. Edmund the King and Confessor, for the souls of William late Earl Warren, her father, and Maud, her mother, daughter of William Marshall the elder, Earl of Pembrook, Hugh Earl of Arundel, and all her ancestors; and it was dedicated this year, on 27th Jan. by Richard de la Wiche Bishop of Chichester, and John Earl Warren, her brother: she purchased it of Richard de Dunham; and Roger de Skerning Bishop of Norwich appropriated it, and settled a vicar, whom the Bishops of Norwich were to nominate, and the Convent to present;[NB: we have no information on the font from the medieval church here].
