There are two entries for this Hampton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO5252/hampton/] [accessed 5 November 2014], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Miller (1890) notes a Norman font here, and the remains of a stoup in the 15th-century porch. Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. English Heritage (1952) notes: "The plain round tapering tub font is C12." Described and illustrated in the CRSBI (2014) as being of uncertain date. The old bucket-shaped basin is much damaged and repaired; now raised on a two step plinth of unknown date. A modern wooden cover, octagonal [why?] with arrises, otherwise plain. The font is located just west of the south doorway.
