No entry found for Tasley in the Domesday survey. Newman & Pevsner (2006) note the mid-19th century church that replaced a medieval church. The medieval church may have dated back to the 1130s. The entry for this church in Historic England [List Entry Number: 1294012] notes: "Built 1840-41 by Josiah Griffiths of Quatford, replacing a medieval church that is said to have been timber-framed with thatch roof. It was built mostly at the expense of the incumbent, the Rev William Moore. Some furnishings were salvaged from the old church and installed in the new, including the font, pulpit, screen fragments, Royal Arms and a wall monument. [...] The Perpendicular font has an octagonal bowl with sunk quatrefoils on 4 facets, on a round pedestal and octagonal base. It is lead-lined and retains one of its original staples." [NB: we have no information on the medieval font]
