No entry found for Haslemere in the Domesday survey. Brayley (1850) writes: "The font is a large circular basin for immersion, standing on an octagonal column." This description clashes with the one in the Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 3, 1911): "The church was originally only a chapel-of-ease to Chiddingfold [...] The font is a large octagonal stone supported on a pillar corresponding with it." The explanation is given in the local website [www.haslemere.com/leisure/stbarts.html] [accessed 4 August 2010]: "For thirty three years, the Font was a hollowed, large octagonal stone block which was replaced in 1870 by the present marble and granite one", which means that at the time of Brayley's visit the old font could have still been in use, to be replaced soon thereafter by an octagonal stone one, and in 1870, again, by the present one. [NB: the original building goes back at least to the 13th century]
