There is an entry for Frilsham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU5373/frilsham/] [accessed 12 May 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor priest in it. Parker (1850) notes: "The font is much smaller than usual, but original, it is plain, round, tub-shaped." Drawing of a font in the Harvey Pridham Drawings of English Fonts (MS 56). [Folder Number, Item Description]. University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries. Special Collections Dept., done by Harvey Pridham in May 1888 accompanied by the following description: "All circular, including footpace, which is modern, and projects from Powell-moulding of font 11" all round. Circular bowl, lead lined, vertical sides, flat bottom, 14 1/2 deep, 2" margin. Position, centre of Nave walk 1/3rd distance up the nave, or just W. of the crossing between N & S doorways. Modern cover." Described in 'Church notes...' (1887) in the context of some "notes [that] were taken between 1835 and 1840": "The font is rude Norman." Noted and illustrated in Keyser (1915): "The font [...] has large plain tub-shaped bowl with a band round the base". The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "What is now the nave of the church was in the 12th century a complete building [...] The font, which is cylindrical and stands on a moulded base, dates from the late 12th century, but it has been much retooled." Noted in Mee (1939) as plain Norman. The CRSBI (2015) notes: "Mee (1939) recorded a plain Norman font, but this does not survive."
