There is an entry for Cublington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8322/cublington/] [accessed 16 November 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Sheahan (1862) cites Lipscomb (1832-1843): "The Church (St Nicholas) [...] 'was removed from the eastern part of the village about the year 1400, to its present situation, a furlong or more eastward", but does not mention a font in it. The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 3, 1925) notes: "Hugh the son of Gozelin bestowed Cublington Church upon Dunstable Priory, probably towards the end of the 11th century [...] A former church is said to have stood on a site to the westward, where traces of an inclosure can still be seen [...] The present building dates from the early part of the 15th century"; there is no mention of a font in it. The British Listed Buildings database [www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk] reports a 19th-century font in the present church [NB: we have no information on the font(s) from the earlier church].
