There is an entry for Elland [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE1021/elland/] [accessed 25 October 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Glynne's July 1857 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font [is] octagonal and plain"; but Butler adds in a footnote: "The font is dated 1662". Noted in Morris (1932) : "Old font -- probably 15th century." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE1080521167] notes: "Church, mainly Cl3 and C14 with chancel arch c.118O, tower c.1490 and other additions and alterations [...] Otherwise [...] mainly dating from W. H. Crossland's restoration of 1856 [...] Plain octagonal font said to be of C17." Ryder (1993) reports "a '1662' font" here. Not mentioned in Harman & Pevsner (2017).
