Font Notes:
There is an entry for Hawkesbury [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/ST7686/hawkesbury/] [accessed 11 April 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Betjeman (1980) reports two fonts in this church, a Norman and a later one. Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Fonts. Three, if the detached stone bowl on the floor is part of a Norman font. The font in use is C17, an octagonal bowl on a fluted base. Broken font, of similar date, by the tower arch." This one consists of a basin that is round at the top but has eight straight horizontal mouldings at the bottom, and eight vertical ones that create eight panels which make the shape of the basin otherwise octagonal; it is raised on a cylindrical stem decorated with two roll mouldings; stands on a quadrangular plinth or lower base. The inside of the basin is lined with lead, the lining modern. There is some damage to the upper rim and sides
