There are five entries for Cambridge [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL4458/cambridge/] [accessed 29 March 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The RCHM (Cambridge, 1959) notes the old church here may have been destroyed in the fire of 1174, and mentions a font in the churchyard, "octagonal bowl with moulded underedge, plain stem and chamfered base, 14th or 15th-century, worn and patched". The Victoria County History (Cambridge..., vol. 3, 1959) notes: "This church is first mentioned in 1174 when it is said to have been burnt down, but no part of the present fabric goes back to the 12th century. Parts of the tower and chancel are late 13thcentury work; large-scale rebuilding took place in the 14th century"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry.
