There is an entry for [Church and Little] Fenton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/church-and-little-fenton/] [accessed 1 November 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church on it. Glynne's 19 December 1850 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font is a new one of cylindrical form". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE5143036763] notes: "Church. Mainly C13 with C14 and C15 additions and alterations including C15 tower and restorations of 1844"; no font mentioned in it. [NB: the church goes back at least to the 13th century, but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
