There is an entry for Huddersfield [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE1416/huddersfield/] [accessed 9 September 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this church in Historic England [English Heritage Legacy ID: 340086] reports: "The font, to the right at the rear of the nave, is dated 1570 and has the cipher ER and the arms of England and France quartered, crudely inscribed." Ryder (1993) notes an "unusual font carved with the Royal Arms and dated 1570" in this church. Ditto in Harman & Pevsner (2017).
