There are three entries for [Car] Colston [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK7242/car-colston/] [accessed 24 July 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Transactions of the Thoroton Society (1: 1897) report an "early English or perhaps Norman font" in this church. Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. Cox (1912) notes: "Plain cylindrical font early Norm[an]." Listed in Guilford (1927) as a Norman font. In Pevsner & Williamson (1979): "Plain, Norman."
