There is an entry for Turnworth [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU6748/tunworth/] [accessed 8 August 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The first recorded mention of a church in the parish is in 1291 [...] The nave walls date from the 12th century and one original window still remains; the chancel and chancel arch are perhaps c. 1200, and appear to have been partly rebuilt at a later period [...] The altar, font and other furniture are modern." [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of this church].
