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 (1908) 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 17th-century font consists of an octagonal basin the sides of which are decorated with rectangular panels, each enclosing a rhomboid shape; graded chamfer on the underbowl; octagonal stem, fluted, a moulding at either end; thick octagonal roll moulding forms the lower base; token plinth. Flat octagonal wooden cover.
