There is an entry for Inlpen [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU3564/inkpen/] [accessed 26 May 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "No church is mentioned in the Domesday Survey, but before 1161 Gervase Paynel granted to the priory of Dudley the church here [...] The church of St. Michael is a plain 13th-century building [The font consists of a plain octagonal stone bowl on a short stem and two modern steps, and may be of 13th-century date. It has a modern oak spire cover." The font is octagonal and plain. The present cover on the font is not the one reported in the VCH [cf. supra], but a new one, of 1972, carved by G. F. Bodley.
