No entry found for Ickleford in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hertfordshire, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The earliest part of the church is the nave, dating from the middle of the 12th century. The chancel and west tower were built early in the following century, and the south porch was added about the middle of the 15th century. In 1859 the church was restored and the south aisle, south chapel and north vestry were added;" there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry.
