There is an entry for Clayhanger [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/ST0222/clayhanger/] [accessed 14 October 2020] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Pevsner (1952) writes: "Font. Circular, Norman, fluted bowl, cable-moulding round waist (cf. [Abbotsham], Beaford, Bradworthy, Clayhanger, and Parkham nearby)". Described and illustrated in Clarke (1916) as one of a group [cf. Pevsner's note supra] she dates to the end of the 12th century, although in this particular font she pronounces the base moulding "of early thirteenth century character". Clarke (ibid.) identifies the material as "Ham Hill stone", and notes "two drilled holes on both north and south sides which may have held the cover staples; on the east is a single hole; none on the west." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: ST0217422988] notes; "Parish church. West tower possibly C13, the fabric otherwise very rebuilt 1879-81 but window details suggest a C14 and earlier fabric. [...] a small circa 1200 (Pevsner) font with a fluted bowl and moulded stem."
