There is an entry for Tubney [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU4398/tubney/] [accessed 1 June 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The section on new churches of The Ecclesiologist (issue of January 1846: 81-82) reports the construction of a new church in Tubney: "built here from the designs of Mr. Pugin, at the expense of S. Mary Magdalene College, Oxford", with a "font, which is very richly and beautifully carved." The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "The chapel of Tubney is mentioned in the 12th century, [...] but no reference to the advowson has been found until 1404 [...] The font was given by Queen Adelaide in 1846." [NB: we have no information on whether or not a font existed in the medieval chapel].
