There is an entry for [Old] Edlington in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK5397/old-edlington/] [accessed 6 November 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it.

C12, c13, C14 and C15"; it mentions no font in it. ***********************NB: ALL THE ENTRIES BELOW SEEM TO REFER TO THE 1599 FONT IN EDLINGTON ST HELEN's, LINCOLNSHIRE -- THE VARIOUS SOURCES APPEAR TO CONFUSE THE TWO CHURCHES********************* [Hunter (1828-1831) reports: "The font has the date 1590". Ditto in Moule (1837). Noted in Glynne's 29 January 1869 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007): "The font is ugly and debased, bears the date 1599". Armitage (1905) notes: "The queer little font is dated 1590." Cox & Harvey (1907) list it as a baptismal font of the Elizabethan period, but give the county as "Staffs." Bond (1908) among fonts dated to the reign of Elizabeth I, this one to 1590, and gives the county as Lincolnshire. Morris (1932) notes "an Elizabethan font (dated 1599) that is interesting for its retention of Gothic feeling." Pevsner (1986 c1967) writes: "Font. 1590. An unusual date and shape. Square with diamond-chamfered angles. Plain Roman lettering and geometrical ornament. Not at all Gothic Survival. -- Elementary font cover of scrolls drawing together, perhaps also of c. 1590." [NB: the 'addenda' in Pevsner notes that the church is disused at the time and that the font and cover had been removed -- Harman & Pevsner (2017) mention no font in it] -- [NB: in Butler's 2007 footnote to Glynne's notes [above], an update is given of the furnishings: "The church is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust; the font; font cover, pulpit and medieval bench ends have been removed for safekeeping"]
