There is an entry for Feltham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TQ1073/feltham/] [accessed 28 May 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Middlesex, vol. 2, 1911) notes: "The church is first mentioned in a 12th-century grant, when it was given to the Hospital of St. Giles in the Fields by Hawis, the wife of William de Roumare, Earl of Lincoln [...] The church of ST. DUNSTAN has a nave and chancel of equal width, built in 1808"; no font mentioned. The entry for the present church in Historic England [List Entry Number: 1261097] notes: "A church is first recorded at Feltham in the twelfth century, when it was given to the Hospital of Giles in the Fields. Nothing is known of the medieval church, which was entirely rebuilt in 1802", in which is a small wooden font of the 1950s.
