There is an entry for Claybrooke [Magna and Parva] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/claybrooke-magna-and-parva/] [accessed 30 July 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Present font probably from the G.E. Street renovation of 1876-1878. [NB: we have no information on the font of the Norman church here].
