There is an entry for Lambourne [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ4796/lambourne/], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Essex, vol. 4, 1956) notes the 12th-century fabric of the church, but reports a modern font in it: "The font has an 18th-century marble bowl on a tall moulded stone base." Noted in Pevsner (1976) and in Bettley & Pevsner (2007): "Font. C18 with baluster stem." The font, located in the west gallery, has a polygonal basin raised on a baluster pedestal base. [NB: the fabric of the church goes back to the 12th century but we have no information on the earlier fonts of this church]
