There is an entry for Scraptoft [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK6405/scraptoft/] [accessed 9 September 2015] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The corresponding entry for Scraptoft in the Victoria County History ( Leicestershire, vol. 5, 1964) reads: "In the 18th century [...] a new font was made by a Mr. Phipps of Leicester[...] The 13th-century font had lain in the churchyard and later been used as a waste bin [...] before being restored to the church in the 19th century. It has a plain round bowl on a cylindrical stem to wjcih are attached four shafts with moulded capitals and bases." Pevsner (1984) writes: "Font. Plain, E[arly] E[nglish], on a circular core with four shafts. It was returned to the church in 1842 after lying outside and displaced an C18 baluster font." [cf.
