No entry found for this Farlington in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The earliest mention of a church at Farlington seems to be in the year 1200, when there was a suit between Robert de Curci and Roger de Scures concerning the presentation to the church of St. Andrew at Farlington. [...] In 1231 the church was served by a chaplain of Philip de Albini and was in need of repairs. [...] It is almost entirely modern, the chancel having been rebuilt by Street in 1872, and the nave in 1875. [...] The font, at the west of the nave, has an old octagonal base, of the fourteenth or fifteenth century." There is a drawing of this font in the Harvey Pridham Drawings of English Fonts (MS 56). [Folder Number, Item Description]. University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries.
