There are two entries for Lacock [variant spellings] in the Domesday surveu [https://opendomesday.org/place/ST9168/lacock/] [accessed 11 August 2019], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The 1844 Catalogue of the manuscript maps, charts, plans […] of the British Museum lists a "Drawing, in Indian ink, of the circular stone font at Lacock Church; by S.H. Grimm, in August 1790 […] with a duplicate drawing in pencil (P.R. Kaye, IV. 495)". The present font, however, belongs to the 19th-century restoration of the church, as noted in Pevsner & Cherry (1975) : "Font. Very Gothic, of stone, given by Sir Arthur Blomfield, when he restored the church in 1861." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: ST9170968569] notes: "Anglican parish church, mostly C15 with some C14 elements, restored 1861 by A.W. Blomfield and chancel rebuilt 1902-3 by H. Brakspear. [...] in nave font 1861 by Blomfield."
