There are two entries for Barnbrough [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE4803/barnbrough/] [accessed 2 October 2018], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Morris (1932) reports an "Octagonal font" here. The Barnburgh & Harlington web site notes: "On entering the church we first notice the font which appears to be of the Transitional Norman period, dating to the latter half of the twelfth century, and as such is most probably the original font" [NB: the original church itself is probably of the Transitional period]. The Doncaster FHS page, however, suggests: "the font itself is probably mediaeval dating from about 1330, although there are some authorities describe it as Norman, dating from the latter half og the 12th century."
