There is an entry for Darfield [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE4104/darfield/] [accessed 5 November 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Glynne's 5 December 1862 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font is raised on high steps. The bowl octagonal with alternate variations or ornament, in one ogee with shields, in another plainer panelling, and buttresses at the angles, on a stem with panelled band, and kneeling step." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. Morris (1932) notes: "Large Perp[endicular] (or Dec[orated] font, with old cover (? Jacobean)." Pevsner (1986 c1967) writes: "Font. Octagonal, Per[endicular]. Alternating panels with shields and with two thin blank two-light arches separated by a buttress. Font cover. Big, rather heavy Jacobean." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE4188204308] notes: "Church. C11 and C12 west tower with C15 upper stages, rest largely C14 and C15, C19 restoration by Pritchett and Son of York. [...] Font: Perpendicular, octagonal with heavy Jacobean oak cover."
