Corhampton / Corehampton / Corhamtone / Cornehampton / Cornhampton / Cornhamtone / Quedementune

There is an entry for Corhampton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU6120/corhampton/] [accessed 26 June 2018]; it mentions a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The church of Cornhampton, which has no known dedication, [...] dates from pre-Conquest times, and perhaps belongs to the first half of the eleventh century. [...] The font at the west end under the gallery has a curious small round bowl, with a line of cable moulding round the middle; the detail suggests a twelfth-century date, but the small size and general reworking of the surface make its attribution to so early a period doubtful." The font consists of a smallish bucket-shaped basin decorated with a thick rope moulding about 2/3 down the sides, and a plain cylindrical base almost as wide as the top of the basin; the basin appears not quite rounded, but polygonal of many sides. A flat wooden lid with a knob finial covers the font.
