Tatham [variant spelling] is one six places included in an entry in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SD6069/tatham/] [accessed 5 April 2019]; the entry reports three churches in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Lancaster, vol. 8, 1914) notes: "The church, though named in Domesday Book, seems a little later to have become a chapel of ease to Melling [...] It has apparently been rebuilt in the 15th century, but retains some portions of an older structure [...] In 1885 the building underwent a very thorough restoration [...] The floor is flagged, and all the fittings, including the font and pulpit, are modern." The modern font is made of sandstone, of octagnal shaped and carved. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font]
