Font Notes:
There is an entry for Coreley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO6173/coreley/] [accessed 3 December 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Anderson (1864) notes that "a robber took sanctuary" in Coreley church in 1261. Newman & Pevsner (2006) note a church tower of the 13th century, but no font is mentioned in either source. [NB: we have no information on the font from the medieval church here)
