There is an entry for [Upper] Arley [variat spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO7680/upper-arley/] [accessed 11 September 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913) notes: "Though the earliest detail in situ dates from the beginning of the 14th century, some small pieces of Norman ornament built into the south nave wall at its eastern end [...] point to a church of 12th-century erection", but the font is reported as modern. Noted in Brooks & Pevsner (2007) as a font of 1848. The font has a carved round basin raised on clustered columns. [NB: we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
