There is an entry for Harborne [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP0384/harborne/] [accessed 26 February 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County Histroy (Warwick, vol. 7, 1964) notes: "Harborne church was not mentioned until the early 13th century [...] The registers of baptisms, burials and marriages begin in 1538, and have gaps"; no font is mentioned in the VCH entry for this church. [NB: we have no information on the font of the 13th-century church here].
