There is an entry for Stratfield [Turgis] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU6959/stratfield-turgis/] [accessed 1 August 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. White (1878) reports a stone font from before the time of Henry VII [1485-1509]. Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. [NB: C&H use the form "Stratfield Sturgis"]. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The church [...] has been so much altered and rebuilt as to make its early history a matter of uncertainty. The earliest fragments of detail are of 13th-century date, but in 1792 the church was burnt, or partly so, and the chancel rebuilt in brick, but on the old foundations, and at the same time the nave appears to have been largely reconstructed; it was again restored in 1901. The chancel shows a very marked inclination to the south, suggesting a rebuilding previous to that at the end of the 18th century. [...] The font, near the south door, is a plain octagonal block of stone. It is of pre-Reformation but otherwise quite uncertain date." The entry for this church in Historic England [Liating no. 1092783] does not mention a font in it: "All the interior has been gutted of fittings."
