There is an entry for Rastrick [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE1321/rastrick/] [accessed 19 November 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Harman & Pevsner (2017) report a 9th-century Anglo-Saxon cross base in the churchyard, similar to those at Birstall and Hartshead; they also report a 10th-century monolith built into a boundary wall nearby, both of which may indicate that a much earlier church existed here, even if not reported in the Domesday survey. The present font in this church is modern: octagonal basin with carved sides on a carved and moulded octagonal base; modern wooden cover, octagonal and flat.
