There are five entries for [South] Newington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP4033/south-newington/] [accessed 16 November 2017], none of which mentions priest or church in it. The Ecclesiastical and Architectural Topography of England: Oxfordshire (1850) notes: "The font is cylindrical, N[orman], with a single zigzag moulding at the top." In Sherwood & Pevsner (1974): "Font. C12. Round, with a band of zigzag." The Victoria County History (Oxford, vol. 11, 1983) notes: "Between 1163 and 1166 Hugh de Chesney and his wife Denise granted the church to Eynsham abbey [...] late 12th-century church [...] The font is 12th-century."
