There is an entry for Winkfield [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SU9072/winkfield/] [accessed 18 March 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 3, 1923) notes: "The church of Winkfield belonged to the abbey of Abingdon, which in 1308 received a licence to alienate it to the Dean and Chapter of Salisbury Cathedral [...] The church has been much altered at various periods, and the original plan is uncertain. The north and south walls and northern half of the west wall of the present nave appear to date from c. 1300. [...] The fittings are modern." The modern font appears in the church interior plan illustrated in the VCH entry, located in the nave, by the south doorway
