There are three entries for Eversholt [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP9933/eversholt/] [accessed 21 September 2015], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Early English period in this church. The Victorian County History (Bedfordshire, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The earliest record of a church at Eversholt occurs in 1247 [...] The earliest work is in the north arcade of the nave, of which all but the western bay originally dated from c. 1180 [...] The font is of the 13th century, with a cylindrical bowl resting on a central and four detached shafts." Illustrated in the the CRSBI [www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=48130] [accessed 25 October 2011]. [NB: we have no information on the earlier font of this church].
