There is an entry for this Dunston [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SJ9217/dunston/] [accessed 25 July 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Stafford, vol. 5, 1959) botes: "The chapel of St. Leonard at Dunston existed, evidently as a dependency of Penkridge church, by 1445 [...] The former chapel of ST. LEONARD was probably of early-15th-century date, rebuilt, except for the tower, in the 18th century. [...] Between 1876 and 1878 the chapel was demolished and a new church erected on the same site"; no font mentioned].
