There are five entries for this [West] Wickam [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL6149/west-wickham/] [accessed 18 May 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Cambridge..., vol. 6, 1978) notes: "By c. 1200 West Wickham had a church [...] The tower may be 13th-century, but its west window has Decorated tracery. The chancel is 14th-century"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry. [NB: we have no information on this font at present; the church itself dates back to the Perpendicular period]
