The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911), in its entry for nearby Cliddesden, notes: "There was also a church in Hatch at the time of the Domesday Survey. [...] On 4 July 1380 the church was exonerated from the payment of subsidies, [...] and after this the parish of Hatch became merged in Cliddesden." [NB: we have no information on the font from the early church here].
