There are five entries for [Husbands] Bodsworth [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP6484/husbands-bosworth/] [accessed 3 September 2015], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Leicestershire, vol. 5, 1964) notes: "In the early 12th century Robert, the lord of the Hall Fee, gave the church of Husbands Bosworth to Leicester Abbey. [...] The south aisle has much mixed rubble in the masonry and a decayed stone string at sill level. It may date from the 13th century or earlier but subsequent alterations have obliterated any distinctive features." No font mentioned in the VCXH entry. The present font here dates from the mid-19th century renovation of the medieval church.
