Font Notes:
No entry found for Bursledon in the Domesday survey. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Norman period in this church. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The chancel walls and parts of the nave are therefore the only ancient portions of the church, and they appear to date from c. 1230. [...] The font in the south-west angle of the nave is of the twelfth century, with a round bowl ornamented with an arcade of narrow arches, which for nearly half the circumference are round-headed and intersect each other, while the rest are pointed and do not intersect. It stands on a round shaft and base, both modern." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU4873810048] reports a "C12 font, an arcaded drum" in it. [NB: if the font is Norman the pointed arches would suggest some later re-tooling]
