There is an entry for Kibworth [Harcourt] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP6894/kibworth-harcourt/] [accessed 13 August 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Leicestershire, vol. 5, 1964) notes: "Kibworth ancient parish consisted of three townships, Kibworth Beauchamp, Kibworth Harcourt, and Smeeton Westerby. So far as can be discovered, each parish has always formed a separate unit for civil purposes. Ecclesiastically, all three townships were included in Kibworth Beauchamp parish, though Kibworth Harcourt possessed its own chapel from the 13th to the early 16th centuries." [NB: we have no information on the font from the medieval chapel here].
