There are two entries for Barling [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TQ9389/barling/] [accessed 9 May 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Royal Commission on Historical Monuments (Essex, 1916-1923) reports: "Font: octagonal, four sides panelled with blank shields in squares, three with quatrefoils in circles and one blank, moulded under-side and base, buttressed stem, c. 1500." In Pevsner (1976) and Battley & Pevsner (2007): "Font. Perp[endicular], octagonal, with shields, quatrefoils, etc." The entry for this church in Historic England notes: "Parish church. C12 south wall of Nave. C15 the chancel was lengthened, the north vestry and west tower added. Circa 1500 chancel partly rebuilt, north aisle and arcade and south porch added. The upper part of south porch is C16/C17. Vestry rebuilt C19. C19 and later restorations. [...] C15 octagonal font with quatrefoils and shields to panels, moulded pilasters to stem, moulded bases.] The font consists of an octagonal basin with vertical sides between protruding upper and lower rim mouldings, the sides decorated with quatrefoils and at least one shield; graded underbowl chamfer; broad octagonal stem with canopied buttresses at the angles; plain octagonal plinth. The wooden font cover is flat and appears modern.
