There is an entry for Yattendon [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU5574/yattendon/] [accessed 21 May 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. A font here is noted in Parker (1850): "the font plain octagonal". Kelly's Directory of 1883 mentions "an octagonal font" in this church, but no date or style. Described in 'Church notes...' (1887) in the context of some "notes [that] were taken between 1835 and 1840": "The font seems Decorated". Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 4, 2011] does not mention a font in this church but notes: "The first reference to a church that has been found is in 1290 [...] The church was rebuilt about the year 1450 [...] In 1858–60 the church was rigorously restored". NB: the present font is of basic Perpendicular design but appears modern, most likely from the mid-19th century renovation of the church.
