There is an entry for Thorner [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE3740/thorner/] [accessed 12 February 2018], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Glynne's 28 February 1865 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font has an octagonal bowl, panelled on a stem, and looks new." Described in Betjeman (1958) as a "traceried font". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE3798740539] reports furnishings here of the 19th century. The font consists of an octagonal basin raised on an equally shaped pedestal base; in the Perpendicular style, as Glynne [cf. supra] warns, it must be a 19th-century font. Wooden font cover of the 17th-18th century "crown" type with ribs around a central pivot.
