There is an entry for Horninghold [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8097/horninghold/] [accessed 13 August 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Leicestershire, 1964) notes: "Horninghold church seems, on the architectural evidence, to have been built in the early 12th century. In or shortly before 1151 it was confirmed to Belvoir Priory by Archbishop Theobald [...] The early church dated from the first half of the 12th century when it probably consisted of nave, chancel, and tower. The base of the tower and portions of the nave walls survive. [...] Its most striking feature is the early-12th-century south doorway. [...] The plain octagonal font bowl stands on circular supports and is probably of the 13th century. The cover may be the one supplied in response to an archdeacon's request in 1777 [footnote: 'Leic. City Mun. Room, 1 D.41/18/21']".
