There is an entry for [South] Warnborough [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU7247/south-warnborough/] [accessed 11 July 2018]; it mentions a church in it. White (1878) reports this church as "a neat fabric of 11th century work", but the 1870 renovation by G.E. Street having erected "A new font of Irish marble". The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) dates the earlier parts of this church to the early 12th century and notes: "The font, at the west of the nave, has a modern bowl of marble, on an old base of uncertain date." [NB: we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
