Blomefield (1805-1810) writes in his entry for Shotesham: "it was in above twelve parts, at the Confessor's and Conqueror's surveys; it had four capital manors, four parish churches, two hamlets [...] The church of St. Martin belonged to the Abbot of St. Bennet at Holm [...] Master Richard de Boyland was rector here in Edward the First's time [i.e., 1272-1307] [...] The ruins of the church may be seen not far distant from St. Mary's." [NB: we have no information on the font from the Domesday-time church here].
