There is an entry for Sutton[-under-Brailes] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP3036/sutton-under-brailes/] [accessed 13 January 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 5, 1949) notes: "The nave dates from the 12th century, but the only remaining architectural feature is the north doorway, which was re-discovered and opened out in the 19th century […] The font and other furniture are modern" [NB: we have no information on the earlier font of the original church here]
