There are two entries for Hough [-on-the-Hill] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SK9246/hough-on-the-hill/] [accessed 19 May 2019] one of which reports a priest and a church in it. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Early English period here. Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989), however: "Font. Circular, with arcade and angle colonnettes. Probably Victorian." The Parish web site [www.houghparish.co.uk] [accessed 13 February 2007] describes it as Victorian. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK9232246406] notes: "Parish Church. C11, late C12, early C13, C15, late C17, 1787 C19. [...] C19 pews, pulpit and stone font". A small priory was founded in Hough in 1164, a poor one as noted in the VCH, which reportas that by the mid-14th century it was in dire straits: "Most of the chantries founded in the priory church had lapsed, as the prior could not serve them all by himself", and by 1432 was given to the Carthusians. The PastScape entry for this priory [https://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=325841] [accessed 19 May 2019] reports: "There are no extant remains, although earthworks associated with Mediaeval earthworks (SK94NW53) may be associated with the site of the monastery." [NB: we have no information on its font].
