There are three entries for Hanley [Child and William] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/hanley-child-and-william/] [accessed 24 October 2014], neither of which mentions a cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "The church of ALL SAINTS [...] The chancel and the eastern part of the nave date from the early 12th century; the nave was extended westward to its present length early in the 13th century, [...] The font is of sandstone and has a plain circular bowl of the 12th century and a modern stem, but no base; on the top of the bowl are the holes for the former iron clasps" [NB: the VCH entry includes an illustration of the font]. In Brooks & Pevsner (2007) with date "C12-C13". Notes and illustrated in the CRSBI (2014): "Plain, of sandstone, on modern stem; no base or plinth. Cylindrical bowl but with very slightly curved sides and short conical lower section. Holes at the rim for iron fixings [...] The date of the font is uncertain, but it is probably 12thc."
