The font in the Church at Ufford is shown, not just because the font cover is described by Cautley as “the most beautiful in the world” but because it is where Catherine Willoughby, born at Parham Moat Hall, was baptised. She later became Duchess of Suffolk after Charles Brandon married her after his previous wife, Mary Tudor (senior) Queen of France, died.

Ufford is also the seat of the de Uffords.  Robert de Ufford became 1st Earl of Suffolk (second creation) in 1336.
