There is an entry for Packington and [Little] Packington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/packington-and-little-packington/] [accessed 10 December 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Reader (1835) shows an entry for Great Packingtonng] in the Domesday survey. Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of 1871-1872 notes: " The church was rebuilt by Bonomi, after the model of the temple of Pæstum." [NB: Giuseppe Bonomi (1739–1808); new church built 1789]. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 4, 1947) notes: "The church was apparently given with the manor to the Priory of Kenilworth, and was appropriated to the priory in 1278 [...] The [present] church of ST. JAMES, in the Park, was built in 1789 from designs by Joseph Bonomi based on that of a church near Rome. [...] The round font in the south-west chamber is moulded." The present font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin on a moulded pedestal base, also round; 18th century?
