There is an entry for Badington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP3474/baginton/] [accessed 21 January 2015], but it mentions neither cleric not church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes: "In the 12th century, when the church of Stoneleigh was given to Kenilworth Priory, the chapel of Baginton was attached to it; but in the reign of John [i.e., 1199-1216], when the priory appropriated the mother church, the chapel was allowed its independence [...] In 1291 the church of Baginton was rated at £4 13s. 4d., [...] and in 1535, when it is definitely styled a parish church, at £8 1s. 8d. in addition to the annual pension of 20s. to the canons of Kenilworth. [...] It dates from the early 13th century [...] A modern octagonal stone font is placed at the west end of the nave."
