There is an entry for Ibstock [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK4010/ibstock/] [accessed 13 August 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for Ibstock in English Heritage [Listing NGR: SK4045309562] (1966) dates the church to the early-14th century, and notes a "font which may pre-date the church". The present font is rather odd looking, consisting of a narrow octagonal basin with piping at the angles and a very tall underbowl chamfer, a very thin square stem, also with piping, and a lower base like an upturned version of the basin without the piping; on a two-step circular plinth.
