There is an entry for Ardley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP5427/ardley/] [accessed 5 December 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Oxford, vol. 6, 1959) notes: "There was a church in Ardley by 1074 [...] largely rebuilt at the end of the 18th century [...] The circular font is probably 13th century". The VCH makes reference to a drawing of this font, by Buckler [ca. 1823?] in MS. Top. Oxon. b 220. a 65, f. 43 [in the Bodleian Library]. Not mentioned in Sherwood & Pevsner (1974).
