There is an entry for this Standish [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SO8008/standish/] [accessed 14 February 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this church in the Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 10, 1972) notes: "Standish church is likely to have been built many years before the first known reference to it c. 1188. [...] Except for the south vestry, formerly a porch, [...] the whole church was built in the early 14th century [...] The church has been altered remarkably little since the early 14th century. [...] The font is of 1860." Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. 1860 by Francis Niblett; octagonal, Perp[endicular] style." The new font is octagonal all over, decorated with a variety of Victorian tracery motifs and mouldings. Flat wooden cover; octagonal and probably contemporary with the font. [NB: we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church].
