There is an entry for [Lower ad Upper] Fulbrook [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/lower-and-upper-fulbrook/] [accessed 20 November 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 3, 1945) notes: "During the 14th and 15th centuries the advowson belonged to the lords of the manor, [...] but when the last incumbent was presented to the rectory in 1543 the patronage was in the hands of the Bishop [...] The church in 1535 was described as a free chapel [...] The church was said, both by Rous [...] and in the Inquisition of 1478, [...] to have been already demolished, though an incumbent was presented as late as 1543. [...] It is generally believed to have stood in the field known as Chapel Close opposite Court Farm [...] This is now at Grove Field Farm, Hampton Lucy."
