There are five entries for Felthorpe [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG1617/felthorpe/] [accessed 10 April 2014], one of which reports a church and church lands in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church is a rectory dedicated to St. Margaret. [...] The church has 2 isles, a square tower, with 2 bells, and a chancel thatched [...] John, son of Steingrein, occurs rector in the reign of Henry I." The present font is octagonal, of general Perpendicular design, but modern, probably of the Victorian restoration in the late-19th century. [NB: we have no information on the baptismal font of the Domesday-period church here].
