There is an entry for this Honington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP2642/honington/] [accessed 7 January 2015], but it mentions neither cleric not church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 5, 1949) notes: "The church descended with the manor throughout. It was assessed at £10, with an additional £2 for tithes assigned to the Priory of Coventry, in 1291. [...] The structure was rebuilt, except the tower, about 1680 and is reminiscent of the plainer of the Wren churches in the City of London. [...] The font has a moulded small bowl with reeded and gadrooned underside, a slender stem and a moulded base in which the bowl-ornament is repeated. It is of a fine-grained white Italian stone and probably imported."
