There are two entries for Stockerstone [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8397/stockerston/] [accessed 26 August 2015], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Leicestershire, vol. 5, 1964) notes: "Stockerston church is first mentioned in 1220. [...] The earliest features in the church, the north and south nave arcades, each of two bays, date from the later 13th century. [...] A general restoration of the church was undertaken in 1887 by G. C. Fenwicke [...] A broken octagonal font bowl of c. 1400 lies in the north aisle." The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP8337897500] (1966) reports a "c1400 broken octagonal bowl font." The font in use is Victorian.
