Chilton / Chiltone / Ciltone / Schelton

There is an entry for this Chilton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP6811/chilton/] [accessed 6 May 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. A font here is noted in Parker (1850): Font D[ecorated], with good bold mouldings." Sheahan (1862) notes: "The font is octangular and cup-shaped". Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Decorated period, a noteworthy example. The RCAHM (Buckinghamshire, 1912) dates the whole font to the 15th century, but suggests "base probably earlier than bowl". The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 4, 1927) notes: "he church was granted by Walter Giffard to the abbey of Nutley [i.e., in the 12th century] [...] The north and east walls of the nave may be built on parts of the foundations of a 12th-century church, but the only detail of this period now surviving is a fragment reset in the south transept doorway. [...] The font is of the 15th century, and has an octagonal bowl on a moulded round stem and base." The RCAHM (ibid.) notes also a holy-water stoup on the east side of the south door, "recess with square head", but gives no date for it.
