There is an entry for Halvergate [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG4106/halvergate/] [accessed 7 May 2014], but it mentions neither church nor cleric in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The church was formerly a rectory [...] dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul [...] Sir Roger Bigot, Earl-Marshal, granted to the priory of Carhow, the tithe of his demean lands, which was confirmed by Simon Bishop of Norwich, in 1264 [...] John de Knovil occurs rector in the 22d of Edward I.—On the 3d of the calends of March, 1301, the rectory was appropriated to the abbey of Tinterne in Wales, in the diocese of Landaff. by John Bishop of Norwich, on the grant of Roger Earl of Norf. and a vicarage was settled." Roger Bigod [aka Bigot] died in 1221, so the church at Halvergate must have been founded between 1086 and 1221. The present font consists of an octagonal basin with vertical sides decorated with symbols and tracery patterns, raised on a slender octagonal pedestal base and an octagonal plinth; the font and its flat octagonal wooden cover are moder, probably of the mid-19th century restoration of this church. [NB: we have no information on the 12th-13th century church here].
