There is an entry for this Clapham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ0906/clapham/] [accessed 16 September 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Harrison (1920) notes part of the remains of the original Norman church here, but no font. The present font is modern, probably of the 1873-74 restoration of the old church by George G. Scott. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original Norman church here]
