There is an entry for Frampton [Mansell] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SO9202/frampton-mansell/] [accessed 12 February 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Verey and Brooks (1999-2002) note: "Large dodecagonal font". The font consists of a dodecagonal basin with plain vertical sides, circular motifs at the angles of the underbowl; raised on an awkward two-volume cylindrical pedestal base; and a round moulded lower base. Flat round wooden cover. Probably from about the same date as the church itself, 1841-1843.
