There is an entry for Faccombe [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU3958/faccombe/] [accessed 23 August 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. White (1878) reports: "The ancient font has been removed from the old church". The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The advowson of the church of Faccombe followed the same descent as the manor of Faccombe until the reign of King John [r. 1199-1216], who, as has been shown, divided the manor into three parts. [...] The church of St. Barnabas was erected of stone and flint in 1866; the former parish church was a very small building at Netherton, but it was entirely demolished when the Faccombe church was finished, only the font being retained [...] The font bowl is of 12th-century workmanship; it is round with sloping sides carved with zigzag and two twisted roll moulds; the iron staples which formerly held the cover project from the sides."
