There are two entries for Hinton [Waldrist] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU3899/hinton-waldrist/] [accessed 4 June 2015], one of which mentions a church in it. A stoup of the Decorated period here is noted in Parker (1850). Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a holy-water stoup of the 14th century "at Hinton, Berks." The Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 4, 1924) notes: "There was a church in the parish at the time of the Domesday Survey. [...] The nave, chancel and tower all apparently formed part of a church built about 1250 [...] plain pointed south doorway, probably of the 13th century, and having to the east of it, externally, a stoup set high in the wall with a square stone head." The present font in this church is modern, late-19th century (?) of Decorated style design. [NB: we have no information on the font from the Domesday-time church here].
