There are six entries for Carleton St. Peter [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG3302/carleton-st-peter/] [accessed 3 March 2014], one of which mentions a church in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) reports "a church here endowed with 80 acres of free land, valued in the whole in King Edward's time at 20s. but at the survey at 40s [thereby accounting for its existence before the Conquest] The church is dedicated to St. Peter, [...] a rectory". Chambers (1829-) reports the building of the tower in 1503-1504. The present font is illustrated in Knott [www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/carletonstpeter/carletonstpeter.htm] [accessed 21 March 2013], a modern octagonal vessel with carved sides, likely dated to the Victorian restoration of the building. [NB: we have no information on the font from the earlier church here].
