There is an entry for Breamore [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU1518/breamore/] [accessed 18 September 2018]; it mentions a priest, but not a church, in it, though there probably was one there. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911): "The font has a plain octagonal bowl on a square stem and is ancient but of uncertain date." [NB: the VCH notes that the building "is a most valuable and unusually complete specimen of a pre-Conquest church", but the font is probably from later in the medieval period]. The font consists of an octagonal basin with a tall underbowl chamfer that has alternating square and triangular sides, raised on a quadrangular block, a very sort lower base and an octagonal plinth with kneeling stone. The wooden font cover is octagonal and flat, with moulded sides; it appears modern. [NB: on the interior doorway with an inscription, the VCH (ibid.) notes: "At the springing are deep square abaci with heavy cable moulds on the angles, and on the north face of the arch is incised, in wellproportioned letters, the inscription[:] her sputelad seo gecpydraednes de [...] 'Here is made plain the covenant to thee.' There were similar inscriptions, as it seems, on the other arches, but only a single stone is now preserved, with lettering on a larger scale than that on the transept arch, and probably belonging to the original east arch of the tower. The inscription, when uncovered in 1897, had its letters filled with plaster and coloured red, with a red line above and below."]
