There is an entry for this Southam [variant spelling] in Folio 238v of the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP4161/southam/] [accessed 9 February 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes: "Southam being a Coventry Priory manor, the patronage of the church was in the hands of the prior up to the Reformation. In 1248 the priory assigned to the dean and chapter of Lichfield £20 in pensions out of the church of Southam instead of from that of St. Michael, Coventry [...] The present church dates from the 14th century; in the 15th century a spire was added to the tower [...] The font, placed just west of the door, is a modern one of stone with an octagonal basin, carved on each face, standing on an octagonal stem moulded at the base."
