There is an entry for this Newnham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL2437/newnham/] [accessed 27 September 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History, Hertfordshire (1908) notes: "The church here was old. […] The nave is perhaps originally of the twelfth century, […] though no features of so early a date are preserved, and the chancel, on the evidence of its north windows, was either rebuilt or lengthened in the thirteenth century. […] The font, at the west end of the nave, is a fine example of fifteenth-century date, octagonal, with panelled bowl and shaft, the panels on the bowl being quatrefoiled, with feathered cusps, and inclosing blank shields. The shaft has panels with cinquefoiled heads, and buttresses at the angles." Noted in the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments, Hertfordshire (1911): "Font: octagonal, richly panelled sides and shaft, 15th-century." In Pevsner & Cherry (1977): "Font. Octagonal, Perp[endicular], with quatrefoil panels and shields on the bowl and blank arcading on the stem."
