There are two entries for Chale [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SZ4877/chale/] [accessed 19 February 2020] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 5, 1912) notes: "Of the original church of St. Andrew […] there is little trace beyond the opening in the south wall of the chancel. The date of its building, 1114, is ascertained from the Chartulary of Carisbrooke Priory"; the VCH does not mention a font in its entry. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SZ4832377567] notes: "Parish church. Chancel, south or Manor chapel and the Nave and aisles are C14. [...] C12 round-headed arch to south chapel with moulded impost block. [...] Octagonal stone font". [NB: we have no information on the baptismal font of the original Norman church]
