There are two entries for this Claydon [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TM1349/claydon/] [accessed 8 November 2017], one of which mentions a church and church lands in it. Parker (1855) mentions a late-Perpendicular octagonal font with a panelled basin here. Noted in James Fielding [http://digitatlas.blogspot.com]: "Font with crowns and shields on the bowl." The basin sides are decorated with crocketed trefoiled arches that inscribe four angels holding blank shields alternating with four crowns; a human head, each quite distinct, at each of the corners of the underbowl; the stem has two rows of traceried arches or niches on the sides, sixteen arches in total; there are shelf-like protrusions on the lower base that look like there may have been figures on them originally, especially since the buttressed angles of the stem appear rough on the lower part all around. The wooden cover is octagonal and low-domed, with an acorn finial; said to be 17th-century.
