There is an entry for Keyham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK6706/keyham/] [accessed 13 August 2015]; it mentions a priest, but not a church in it, though there probably was one there. A font here is noted and illustrated in Upcott (1818) [NB: Upcott uses old spelling 'Keame']. Described in Pevsner (1984): "Font. C18. Stone baluster." {NB: according to the same source the original church is 13th- or 14th-century, but we have no information on the earlier font of this church]
