There is an entry for Haversham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8242/haversham/] [accessed 22 February 2016], but it mentions neither church nor priest in it. Sheahan (1862) notes that the church "is of Norman origin"; on its font, he adds "The font and the pillar that supports it are octagonal and well sculptured". The Victoria County History (Buckingham, vol. 4, 1927) notes: "The west wall of the nave, in which is an original window of the latter half of the 12th century, is the only surviving fragment of a church of that period [...] A restoration was undertaken in 1857, and again in 1903 [...] The font is of the late 14th century, and has an octagonal bowl and stem with panelled sides."
