No individual entry found for Knights Enham in the Domesday survey. Goddard (1884) reports a font in this church. Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. In the Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911): "The font is modern, with a shallow bowl carved with an imitation of 12th-century detail, and stands near the south door." Noted in the Parish web site [http://knightsenham.org.uk/TheParish/ChurchHistory/ChurchHistory.htm] [accessed 14 November 2008]: "The original font was found outside, badly smashed. It was put together and erected outside the south door. Later it was brought inside. A new font made in imitation of the old 12th century one was presented by the Rev. Fisher Audland, Rector 1848-50" And, later, in the 20th century: "The original 12th century font was brought back into use and the imitation one put into store. The wooden font cover was presented by the children of Mrs. Vera Gordon in her memory." The old font is now [August 2008] again inside the church, at the west end of the nave; the basin is weathered and damage (it appears to be broken horizontally into two), with much of the foliage (?) pattern on the upper half damage or broken off; the lower registed has a deeply-carved diaper pattern that has survived better; the plain circular stem and moulded lower base are also very worn. The wooden [oak?] cover consists of a flat and round platform, with four vertical scrolls arranged in the Jacobean manner. [NB: we have no up-to-date information on the whereabouts of the modern copy mentioned above]
