There are two entries for Corby [Glen] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SK9924/corby-glen/] [accessed 19 May 2019], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Trollope (1876a) records a visit by the Society, from Grantham, to "St. John's, Corby", of which he writes: "The font is a plain octagonal one of the fourteenth century placed upon a plain square base." [NB: the "Corby" referred to in Trollope above is Corby Glen, about 15 km SE of Grantham, and often known simply as "Corby, Lincs." -- its parish church is dedicated to St John the Evangelist]. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF0013725003] notes: "Parish church. C12, late C13, C14, early C15, restored 1860. [...] The C13 font has an octagonal bowl with stop chamfers to the square base which is now supported on a free standing marble shaft added in 1893."
