There are four entries for Lubenham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP7087/lubenham/] [accessed 18 August 2015], neither of which report cleric or church in it. Upcott (1818) lists an illustration of the font in 'Lubbenham' [sic] church. The Victoria County History (Leicestershire, 1964 ) reports: "Lubenham church is first mentioned in 1109, when Robert son of Vitalis, lord of Foxton, gave the church and tithes from his fee in Lubenham to St. Augustine's Priory, Daventry (Northants.) [...] The church [...] is constructed of ironstone dressed with limestone [...] the oldest features, two circular piers in the north arcade of the nave, date from the late 12th century. [...] The present octagonal font dates from the 19th century and has occupied its present site since at least 1849; the medieval font was then said to have been destroyed when alterations were made in 1812."
