There are three entries for Warwick [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP2864/warwick/] [accessed 17 December 2014], but none mentions cleric or church in it. Smith (1850) mentions a number of old churches in this city that have disappeared: Warwick No. 2) "St. Helen's appears to have stood on the spot where the priory of St. Sepulchre was afterwards founded"; Warwick No. 3) "St. Michael's was built at the lower end of the street called Saltsford"; Warwick No. 4) "St. John's stood near the centre of the market place, and of this 'the outward fabric' was to be seen according to Dugdale in the seventeenth century"; Warwick No. 5) "St Peter's is stated to have stood in the midst of the town. This church was taken down in the reign of Henry VI. and a church, dedicated to St. Peter, was built over the east gate"; Warwick No. 6) "The church of St. Lawrence then stood on a spot at the lower end of the west street, in the suburbs. The last presentation that occurs appears to have taken place in the year 1380."
