There are two entries for this Lowick [varied spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SP9780/lowick/] [accessed 9 April 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 3, 1930) notes: "The church was almost entirely rebuilt at the end of the 14th century, but on the north side of the chancel are an aumbry and a small blocked doorway of the 13th century [...] The font is of the 13th century and consists of a plain octagonal bowl on a pedestal of clustered keelshaped shafts." Noted in Mee (1945): "The font is 13th century." The Parish web site [http://lowickchurch.com/history.html] [accessed 20 April 2009] notes: "The font is of uncertain date though the stem seems to be 14th century". Not mentioned in Pevsner & Cherry (1973)
