No individual entry found for Stockbridge in the Domesday survey. White (1878) reports an "ancient font placed near the western entrance". Described in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period made of Purbeck marble. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "Stockbridge was a chapelry dependent on the parish church of King's Somborne until about 1848, when it was constituted a separate benefice as a perpetual curacy [...] Only the chancel of the old church remains, now occasionally used as a mortuary chapel. [...] The [19th-century] church is entirely modern, but a number of windows from the old church have been restored and incorporated in the new structure. These include two of late 12th-century date [...] the font [...] is of Purbeck marble and a good deal defaced. It has a square bowl with remains of an arcade, in low relief, of round arches. The stem is round and rather short and the base square, both being quite plain." The entry for thish church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU3549935143] notes: "Norman Purbeck font of table top type on short round column on square base." The font consists of a square basin with a round inner well, raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base and a square lower base; the basin has a metal brace around it; the sides are decorated with arches and chevrons. The wooden cover is round and flat, with metal decoration and ring handle; probably 19th-century. The basin is in an appalling state, the surface of the sides badly eroded, but one can still discern traces of the decorative work, which appears to consist in half-circles on one of the sides, and what appears to be saw-tooth motif on another. Noted in Leach (1975) as a font made of Purbeck marble: "there are no subsidiary shafts" [source given: VCH, 4, 1911]. [NB: the font, originally from Old St. Peter's, is now located in the later church]
