Earls Colne / Coles [Domesday] / Colne / Colun / Wakes Colne / White Cone

There are eight entries for [Earls, Wakes and White] Colne [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/earls-wakes-and-white-colne/] [accessed 13 June 2018], none of which mentions priest or church in it. The Victoria County History (Essex, vol. 10, 2001) notes: "The minster church at Colne, served by two priests and a deacon c. 1040, [...] was presumably at Earls Colne [...] Names of priests of Colne are known from c. 1040, and the church seems to have been regularly served in the Middle Ages"; the VCH (ibid.) also notes a number of renovations to the building, including two major ones in the 19th century; there is no mention of a font in the VCH, though it is likely to have one from the Victorian period [NB: we have no information on its medieval font]
