Noted in Parker (1849): "The is extremely rude." In Whellan (1849), after Parker (1849). Pevsner & Cherry (1973) report that the church was "disused, and threatened with demolition" in 1971 [NB: the Midland Churches entry for this church [http://professor-moriarty.com/moriarties/midland_churches/2008/12/06/clay-coton-st-andrew/] [accessed 31 March 2009] informs: "Built in 1340 the parish church of Clay Coton, Northamptonshire became disused in the 1950. In 2000 it was converted into a private dwelling." -- BSI followed up with request for information to the Diocese of Peterborough, which kindly reported that this church re-opened on 5 December 1966 following a extensive renovation of this church and there is a record of a new font being installed at the time, but no information on the fate of the older font. When the church became redundant the Victorian font was removed for sale [letter of 24 June 1976 from the Vicar], but there is no record in the Diocese's archives of whether the sale took place or the final destination of the font].
