There are three entries for this Elton [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TL0893/elton/] [accessed 13 May 2018], one of which mentions a church in it. A font here is noted in Rose Fuller Whistler's The History of Ailington, Aylton, or Elton (London: Mitchell and Hughes, 1892) p. 17: "In the centre of the tower opening stands the font, supported by piers having a quatrefoil section, and standing upon square bases."
