There is an entry for Wittering, Northamptonshire, [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF0502/wittering/] [accessed 20 February 2018], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. A font in this church is described and illustrated in the CRSBI (2018): "a circular tub-font on a modern cylindrical pedestal. The lower rim is chamfered and the basin is lead-lined". The lower side of the basin shows considerable damage that has been repaired; some other damage, though minor, shows up at the upper rim. The wooden font cover, round and plain but for a cross-shaped raised decoration, appears modern. Listed and illustrated in The Digital Atlas of England [www.viewbuildings.com]
