There is an entry for this Clapham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ2975/clapham/] [accessed 8 March 2016], but it mentions neither cleric not church in it. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes: "The earliest known reference to the old parish church of the Holy Trinity is the presentation of an incumbent in 1285. [...] In pursuance of an Act of Parliament of 1774 the old church of HOLY TRINITY was taken down except the north aisle, which was pulled down in 1814, and the new parish church of HOLY TRINITY was built on another site in 1775"; the baptismal registers of the parish start in 1555. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
