There is an entry for this Thorne [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE6813/thorne/] [accessed 13 February 2018], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. A font here is noted in Glynne's visit to this church before 1840 (in Butler, 2007): "The font is a plain octagon." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. Noted in Morris (1932): "Octagonal font." In Mee (1941) simply as "medieval."
