There is an entry for Kemble [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/ST9897/kemble/] [accessed 9 October 2014], but it mentions neirther cleric nor church in it. A font here is noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. Plain, octagonal; shaft and base c.1877". The basin is octagonal and plain, and, if old, re-tooled [NB: the earlier part of the church, the tower may go back to the 13th century, but we have no information of the earlier font(s) of this church]
