There are two entries for this Hannington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8171/hannington/] [accessed 16 August 2018] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Early English period in this church. Described in the Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 4, 1937): "With the exception of the upper stage of the tower, which is of the 14th century, the whole of the building dates from the last quarter of the 13th century, but the round-headed south doorway probably belongs to a previous small 12th-century church. [...] The 13th-century font has a plain octagonal bowl moulded on the upper and lower edges and lined with lead." Mee (1945), however, writes: "The font, very rough looking, appears to have been shaped by the Norman axe." Pevsner & Cherry (1973) do not mention the font but they include it in one of the guide's photographs. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SP8115770929] mentions no font in it.
