There is an entry for Mapledurwell [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU6851/mapledurwell/] [accessed 8 August 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "early in the 12th century—there was no chapel in Maplederwell, but one had been built before the end of the 13th century. [...] The nave [of the present church] dates from the end of the 12th or beginning of the 13th century [...] The altar pulpit, font, &c., are all modern." [NB: we have no information on its medieval font]
