There are two entries for [Castle and Shudy] Camps in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/castle-and-shudy-camps/] [accessed 17 May 2016], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Cambridge..., vol. 6, 1978) notes: "Castle Camps had a church before 1111, which in that year Aubrey de Vere (d. c. 1112) granted to Abingdon abbey (Berks.) when endowing his priory at Earl's Colne (Essex), newly founded from that abbey. [...] Before extensive 19th-century remodelling the fabric was mostly of the 15th or early 16th centuries [...] The octagonal 15th-century font was largely recut c. 1850." The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: TL6256542540] (1967), however, states: "Font C13. Octagonal bowl of limestone on original stern and base with four modern reproduction shafts."
