There is an entry for Shabbington [variant spelling] in thttp://opendomesday.org/place/SP6606/shabbington/he Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP6606/shabbington/] [accessed 4 January 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. A font here is noted in Lipscomb (1831- ): "The font near the west end of the nave is large and octagonal, and its pedestal of correspondent form." The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 4, 1927) notes: " A vicarage was ordained in Shabbington in 1221, the advowson and the rectory then belonging to Wallingford Priory [...] The walls of the nave and chancel, which are of rubble incorporating herring-bone work, are partly of late 11th-century date, but no contemporary detail survives [...] The church was restored in 1882 [...] The font is probably mediaeval, but has been so scraped that it is impossible to date it with certainty. The bowl is plain and octagonal, and stands upon a tapering stem."
