There are six entries for [West] Wratting [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL6052/west-wratting/] [accessed 19 May 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Cambridge..., vol. 6, 1978) notes: "There was a church at West Wratting in the earlier 12th century when Bishop Niel granted it to the infirmary of Ely. [...] Foundations said to have been discovered below the east end of the nave in the late 19th century [...] have been interpreted as the footings of a central tower; if there was such a tower it pre-dated the 13th-century chancel arch and east wall of the nave which are the oldest parts of the building"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry. Noted in Cambridgeshire Churches as a Victorian font [NB: we have no information on the font of the early-12th century church here].
