There are two entries for Stoke [by Clare] [variant spelling in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TL7443/stoke-by-clare/] [accessed 1 August 2019] one of which reports a church and "0.5 church lands" in it. Parker (1855) notes simply "a good font" here. [NB: the church is chiefly Decorated and Perpendicular, with Victorian renovations]. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TL7410243342] identifies the site of the church with that of the former priory [cf. Index entry for Stoke-by-Clare No. 2] although a church was known in this town in the Domesday survey [cf. supra]: "A priory church is known to have stood on the site in 1124. The present flint and stone church is mainly of the early C16. The tower, which belonged to an earlier aisless church is C14, but the lower part may be of the C15"; the entry mentions no font in it. The present font in this church looks like a Victorian rendition of a Perpendicular style [unless is a totally re-carved earlier font].
