There is an entry for Farnborough [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SU8755/farnborough/] [accessed 7 January 2015], in which a church is mentioned. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The earliest parts of the church are the north and west walls of the nave, c. 1190–1200, and a south doorway of the same date is now in the wall of the new south aisle [...] The octagonal font is modern and of 15th-century design with a panelled bowl and shafted octagonal stem." [NB: we have no information on the font of the Domesday-time chuurch here].
