Ovington nr. Winchester / Edintune / Edyneton

No entry found for this Ovington in the Domesday survey. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Norman period made of Purbeck marble in this church. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "There is no mention of a church in Ovington at the time of the Domesday Survey [1086]. One, however, existed before 1284, as in that year the king [Edward I] gave up to John bishop of Winchester and his successors all his right in the advowson of the church of Ovington. [...] The church of St. Peter [...] [was] entirely rebuilt in 1865–6 [...] In the porch is preserved an ancient holy-water stone. The font is of Purbeck marble, with a bowl ornamented with shallow arcades, after a late twelfth-century fashion, but there is nothing else in the church with any pretensions to antiquity." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU5607831666] reports a "Font Purbeck Marble in C12 style" in it.
