There are two entries for Earley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU7572/earley/] [accessed 4 May 2015], but neither mentions cleric or church in it. The baptismal font of the mid-19th century church here is now disused, removed to the churchyard; it is of general 13th-century design, with an open arcade of trefoiled arches showing chaged shields inside; the basin sides overhand a pedestal base of clustered colonnettes around a central shaft. The font is now in the churchyard, dismounted, the basin serving as planter.
