No individual entry for Cartmel Fell found in the Domesday survey. The entry for this township in the Victoria County History (Lancaster, vol. 8, 1914) reports documented evidence of this chapel/church in 1504-1505; it also mentions that a font was lacking in 1702 but present in 1712. The present font, said to be of the early-16th century, consists of a rather narrow moulded round basin on a plain circular pedestal base and a square lower base. It has a tallish octagonal pyramidal wooden cover that could be 17th-century. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original church here].
