There is an entry for Shellingford [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU3193/shellingford/] [accessed 4 June 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. A font here is noted and illustrated in Keyser (1914): "Shellingford Church [...] seems to have been erected towards the end of the 12th century, and the walls are mainly of this date [...] The font has a plain octagonal bowl and stem. It is of 15th century date. It has a very nicely carved Jacobean cover." The basin has mouldings at both ends, and there is another moulding where the underbowl meets the plain octagonal stem. The wooden cover has an octagonal base with carved panels, and an upper pyramidal part, also octagonal with carved sides; ball finial. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "The first mention of a church in Shellingford is in 1248 [...] The nave and chancel appear to have been built late in the 12th century", and the first register of baptisms in the church dates to 1579; the VCH entry does not mention a font. [NB: we have no information on the font of the 12th-century church here].
