Clopton nr. Oundle / Clapton / Cloton / Clotone / Clotton

There are two entries for this Clapton/Clopton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL0680/clopton/] [accessed 13 December 2018] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. A font here is illustrated in a 1863 drawing by Henry E.L. Dryden, now at the Sir Henry Dryden Collection, Northamptonshire [NB: the drawing includes a "plan of shaft and bases at Clopton church, which probably were built at the time for the old basin]. The Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 3, 1930) notes: "The Church of St. Peter is a structure in the style of the late 13th century, erected in 1862–3 [...] on, or near, the site of an older building then pulled down. The former church [...] appears to have been mainly of late 13th or early 14th century date, though one of the stones in the hoodmould of the chancel arch was a re-used fragment of the pre-Conquest period. [...] The font consists of a plain octagonal bowl, apparently ancient, on a modern pedestal." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TL0660980006] notes: "Church. c.1863 by Richard Armstrong. [...] The capitals may incorporate medieval masonry. [...] Octagonal font on columns, the bowl is probably medieval."
