There are two entries for this Stanford in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO7065/stanford-on-teme/] [accessed 28 October 2014], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Miller (1890) reports a church "rebuilt 1768 [...] consecrated by the Bishop of Hereford in 1769"; he mentions no font in it. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "The church of Stanford was returned in 1291 as not worth £4 annually. [...] Of the original church nothing now remains but the foundations which lie beneath the lake in Stanford Park. The present church [...] stands on high ground overlooking Stanford Park, about half a mile east of the original site in the park [...] was consecrated in 1769 [...] The church was restored in 1894 when several alterations were made in the internal fittings. The font and the pulpit are modern."
