Willey nr. Rugby / Welei / Wiley

There are two entries for this Willey [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP4984/willey/] [accessed 12 February 2015], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes: "The church of Willey, with a vir gate of land and 2 tofts, was given to the Norman abbey of Préaux between 1129 and 1146 by Roger Abbadon, when he became a monk there. [...] The church of ST. LEONARD [...] has undergone considerable restoration and the chancel was rebuilt and enlarged with a vestry on the north side, and at the same time the south porch was built, the south wall refaced and battlemented parapets added to the nave and stair turret. Earlier the west wall had been refaced with ashlar. The tower and nave probably date from the late 14th or early 15th century. [...] On the south side against the chancel arch there is a modern octagonal stone pulpit and near the south door a modern octagonal stone font. Standing in the southwest corner is a disused 14th-century font with a circular cup-shaped basin on an octagonal stem with a moulded capital and base on a square pedestal."
