There are two entries for Warnford [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU6222/warnford/] [accessed 27 June 2018], one of which reports a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The tower is of two stages [...] It has a plain inserted fourteenth-century west door, with a blocked recess near it on the outside, probably for a holy-water stoup." A holy-water stoup of the 14th century, on the outside wall, exists to the right of the west doorway [source: Southern Life [www.southernlife.org.uk/wanrnfchu.htm] [accessed 15 March 2007]]
