There is an entry for Stoke [Poges] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU9884/stoke-poges/] [accessed 12 November 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Baptismal font of an early period [Norman?] somewhat similar to the one at Amesbury, Wiltshire, noted in Gough (1792): "That at Stoke Pogeis is not unlike it, but plain and without a lip." Parker (1850) notes: "The font is massive, plain N[orman]." No mention of it in Sheahan (1862). A font in this church is mentioned and illustrated in Hoyle (1920), and it is a new font, the sama as the one in the c hurch now [January 2012]. The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 3, 1925) reports a modern font in the church, but mentions "the late 15th-century font" in the mansion at of Ditton Park. [NB: the font now used in the church is in the Perpendicular style but modern, probably 19th-century; the old font must have been replaced by the present one some time after 1850].
