There are two entries for this Hatfield [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SO5759/hatfield/] [accessed 16 May 2018] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The inventory of Herefordshire (1931-1934, vol. III: 64) notes: "Font: tub-shaped bowl without ornament, probably late 11th-century." Listed in Stocker (1997: 24) as one of a group of "early font bowls set within bases of successors". The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2018) reports: "The Norman font was replaced by an octagonal one in the 19thc, but remains in the church, under the bell turret. [...] Under the gallery is the bowl of a disiused font. It is a plain tub with slightly convex sides, no lining and lock damage repairs at the E and the NW of the rim. [...] The old font is effectively undateable. Pevsner ignored it and Brooks calls it Norman."
