Font Notes:
There is an entry for Hartshill [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP3293/hartshill/] [accessed 9 December 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 4, 1947) notes: "The modern church of the Holy Trinity south-east of the castle is built of stone with brick dressings, and has an apsidal chancel. The west doorway and window are of the 12th-century style." English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP3271693940] (1988) reports a "Stone octagonal Gothic style font" in this mid-19th century church. [NB: we have not found any evidence of an earlier church here].
