There is an entry for this Chippenham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL6669/chippenham/] [accessed 20 July 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Cambridge…, vol. 10, 2002) notes: "parish church, dating from the 12th century […] traces of round-headed 12th-century windows in the chancel and at the nave east end"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry. Noted in the parish web site [www.ely.anglican.org/parishes/chippenham/index.htm] [accessed 19 October 2007]: "The font [...] dates from 1893". [NB: the church probably dates back to Norman times, but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church].
