There is an entry for Hawkesbury [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/ST7686/hawkesbury/] [accessed 11 April 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Betjeman (1980) reports two fonts in this church, a Norman and a later one. Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Fonts. Three, if the detached stone bowl on the floor is part of a Norman font. The font in use is C17, an octagonal bowl on a fluted base. Broken font, of similar date, by the tower arch." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: ST7681886925] notes; "C12th but on the site of a Saxon church; Early English, early C13th (Chancel); C14th; the majority of the church is in the Perpendicular style of the late C14th and C15th, restored 1882 - 85 [...] Font: C17th but possibly a remodelling of an earlier font, octagonal bowl decorated with lozenges, fluted stem."
