There is an entry for Barton Hartshorn [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP6431/barton-hartshorn/] [accessed 7 January 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Sheahan (1862) writes that most of the church is modern and mentions no font in it. The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 4, 1927) notes: "The church of Barton is thought to have formed part of the endowment of Chetwode Priory about 1245, [...] and was confirmed to that house by Bishops of Lincoln in 1268 and 1303. [...] the only ancient part of the church now left being the nave, which is probably of 13th-century date. [...] The chancel was rebuilt in the 19th century, and the transepts were added in 1841 [...] The font is modern."
