There is an entry for Herriard [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU6646/herriard/] [accessed 11 July 2018] but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. White (1878) reports that the church is an Early English structure but was largely restored in 1876-1877, the font being from this latter period, "the gift of the late Mrs. Jervoise" [F.J.E. Jervoise, Esq. is given as the restorer of the church]. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The church of Our Lady is a very valuable example, built about the year 1200, of excellent style and detail, preserving, in spite of decay and repair, much of its original character [...] The font, of serpentine, is at the west end of the nave, and is modern, as are all the other fittings of the church." [NB: we have no information on the medieval font]
