There are two entries for Halston [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SJ3431/halston/] [accessed 6 March 2018], neither of which mentions cleric or churcn in it. Eyton (1860) notes: "Halston Church was originally a private Chapel attached to the Praeceptory", that is, the Knights Hospitallers' preceptory built here between 1185 and 1221. Eyton (ibid.) further notes: "Halston Manor is extra-parochial to this day". Anderson (1864) quotes Eyton. Newman & Pevsner (2006) report a "marble baluster font and gadrooned cover with knop carved as flames". The enry for this chapel in Historic England [Listing NGR: SJ3388431298] does not mention a font in it. [NB: this font is likely to be 17th- or 18th-century; we have no information on an earlier font at this chapel]
