There is an entry for Arrow [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP0756/arrow/] [accessed 18 November 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 3, 1945) notes: "According to one of the charters of the monastery of Alcester ratified by Henry II, Ralph le Botiller granted to the monastery, with the consent of the Earl of Leicester, the advowsons of the churches of Arrow and Oversley [...] The building dates from the 12th century, but the only evidence of this period is the south doorway, which may have been reset at a later period"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry, which gives the dedication as St. James'.
