There is an entry for Plaitford [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU2719/plaitford/] [accessed 13 September 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The walls of the church are probably of early 13th century date [...] The font is a modern restoration from part of a 13th-century font with four spurs on the angles."
