There are three entries for Fransham (Great and Little) [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/great-and-little-fransham/] [accessed 6 February 2014], but neither of them mentions a church or cleric in it. The Fransham Magna entry in Blomefield (1805-1810) notes: "The Church is dedicated to All Saints" and refers to the naming of "John, son of Roger de Fransham, the Pope's chaplain or clerk, in the 6th of Edward I [i.e., 1278] presented, as I take it, by the Pope" as rector here; there is one other previous (?) rector, but is given as "sans date", making this, then, the earliest reference to a church in Fransham Magna. [NB: we have no information on the font of the ca.1278 church here]. [cf. Index entry for Norwich No. 14 for the later font moved here].
