No individual entry found for this Bullington in the Domesday survey. White (1878) notes: "The ancient font-bowl, rescued by the vicar from a farmyard, stands in the tower on a new stone base." The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) has: "The nave [...] dates from the latter part of the 12th century, two small windows near the west end and the north doorway being of that date; the chancel was rebuilt about 1220 [...] The font, which stands in the tower, has an old round bowl probably of 13th-century date on a modern stem and base." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SP3767439287] mentions no font in it. The wooden cover is round and flat; appears modern. The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2018) notes: "Bullington was held by the Benedictine nunnery of Wherwell before and after the Conquest. It was assessed at 10 hides and the 1086 entry notes a mill but does not record a church."
