There is an entry for [Little] Wenlock [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SJ6406/little-wenlock/] [accessed 9 July 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Shropshire, vol. 11, 1985) notes: "There was a church probably by the 12th century. [...] The vestry (formerly the chancel), which is exceptionally small internally and has thick walls, has a small blocked window, probably of the 12th century, in the north wall. [...] An 18th-century oval stone font [...] stands in the aisle."
