There is an entry for Lillingstone [Dayrell] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP7039/lillingstone-dayrell/] [accessed 18 January 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Sheahan (1862) notes a small font in this Early English church. The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 4, 1927) notes: "The east and west walls of the nave, with the chancel and tower arches, are the only survivals of a late 11th-century aisleless church with a western tower [...] The font and fittings are modern". [NB: Sheahan's font may have been an earlier one, since he saw the church before the 1868 renovation by G.E. Street in which the furnishings were replaced]
