There are four entries for [Great] Linford [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8542/great-linford/] [accessed 23 February 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. Sheahan (1862) reports a church "in the Early Decorated style, but [...] very much disfigured [...] The font is a small marble vase on a pedestal of wood." The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 4, 1927) notes: "The present church was built about 1250, and to this date belong the nave and the two lower stages of the tower; the chancel and south aisle, though considerably altered, probably date from this time", with extensive repairs and renovations in 1708 and 1884-1885; it reports a modern font in the church. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font].
