No entry found for Up Nately/Nateley in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The walls of the nave belong to the original late 12th-century building, but they have been entirely refaced, and later windows have been inserted. The chancel, tower and vestry were built in 1844." There is no mention of a font in the VCH entry. The present font is modern, probably Victorian, and consists of a moulded octagonal basin raised on a pedestal base of the same shape with trefoiled niches in the sides, and a lower base of the same shape as the rest, decorated with a graded moulding. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font]. The VCH (ibid.) informs on the Priory Church and farm at Andwell [St. Mary of Andwell]: "The principal remains are those of the church and of a part of the western range, but the approximate position of the other claustral buildings and the site and extent of the cloisters themselves may be deduced with some certainty. [...] Of the chancel only the lower parts of the north and east walls remain now about 6 ft. in height, and probably partly rebuilt at that, for no traces of windows are left. The church is now used as a barn." The VCH gives the dedication as 1220 A.D. [NB: we have no information on whether this priory church had a baptismal font in it].
