There is an entry for Stanford [Dingley] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU5771/stanford-dingley/] [accessed 21 May 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. A font here is described in 'Church notes...' (1887) in the context of some "notes [that] were taken between 1835 and 1840": "The font plain, conical Norman". Valpy (1918) notes "a Saxon font" in this church. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "The present building appears to be an enlargement of a small pre-Conquest church without aisles or structural chancel [...] In the first half of the 12th century the nave was extended westward [...] There is a plain tub-shaped 12thcentury font"; the floor plan in the VCH entry shows the font located at the west end of the north aisle. The font is not mentioned in the CRSBI (2015) entry for this church .
