There is an entry for Remenham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SU7784/remenham/] [accessed 19 March 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 3, 1923) notes: "The advowson of Remenham [...] is found in 1216 in the king's hands [...] The date of the [church] structure is uncertain, the restorations of the 19th century having removed all distinctive detail. [...] but from the plan of the nave and chancel and the position of the windows of the apse it is more likely that the building itself was erected in [...] the 12th, century [...] The font and pulpit are modern". [NB: we have no information on the medieval font here].
