There is an entry for Hinton [-in-the-Hedges] [variant spelling] in the Domesdau survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SP5536/hinton-in-the-hedges/] [accessed 5 February 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this church in Wilson's Gazetter of 1870-1872 reports "a curiously carved font" here. Cox & Harvey (1907) list the font at Hinton, Nhants., as a good example of the Norman period. Noted in Mee (1945) with the full name of the village -Hinton-in-the-Hedges- and dated to the Norman period as well. In Pevsner & Cherry (1973): "Tub-shaped, C13. With friezes of still-leaf, intersected arches, and dog-tooth." Noted and illustrated in the CRSBI (2006): " the bowl is tub-shaped and stands on a 20thc. base [...] The font must date from c.1190-1210 [...] an interesting case of early 13thc. forms (stiff-leaf and dogtooth) combined with traditional 12thc. intersecting arcading and applied to a standard 12thc. bowl. It may usefully be compared with the font at East Haddon and especially that at Magdalen College, Brackley."
