There is an entry for this Stockton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO7167/stockton-on-teme/] [accessed 28 October 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Miller (1893) notes "a fine arch between the chancel and nave, of the 12th century" in this church, but does not mention a font in it. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "The church was built about the middle of the 12th century, but only the nave of the original building remains; the chancel, said to have been rebuilt in the 14th century, fell down in 1718 and was again rebuilt on the old foundations during the following ten years. [...] The font has a plain octagonal bowl, probably of the 14th century, with a modern shaft and base". Brooks & Pevsner (2007) identify a "Norman nave, c.1130-40, altered in the C14", in this church, but do not mention any font in it. [NB: we have no information on the font of the 12th-century church here]
