There is an entry for Bagworth [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK4408/bagworth/] [accessed 24 July 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. A font in the new church at Bagworth is noted and illustrated in Chris Jones [www.leicestershirechurches.co.uk/bagworth-church-holy-rood/] [accessed 24 July 2015]: "The font is from the previous church (apart from the base)". The font consists of an octagonal basin with plain sides and a chamfered underbowl, raised on a cylindrical pedestal base; both parts appear totally modern; was the basin re-cut? re-tooled? The font cover, on the other hand, appears old, an octagonal dome in the style of 17th-century covers. The modern church incorporates some stone from the old church, including a Norman arch.
