There is an entry for Hainford [variant spelling] in the Domesday book [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG2218/hainford/] [accessed 15 April 2014], but it mentions neither church or cleric in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church is a rectory, dedicated to All-Saints [...] Rectors. In the 25th of Edward I [i.e., 1297] Mr. Thomas de Kerdeston, conveyed his right of patronage, to William Roselyn." Knott (2009) informs: "After the old church was abandoned, its graveyard remained in use, and does so to this day. What we were looking at was obviously a Victorian mortuary chapel, a place where the coffin could rest and the funeral be celebrated on site, without need for the deceased to be brought from the new church for burial. Today, the chapel is also in ruins, and the entire structure is surrounded by high chain link fencing to keep people out".
