Winslade with Kempshott / Swynesflode / Winesflot / Wineslode / Winsfolde / Wyndessled / Wyndslade / Wynesflode / Wynesolde / Wynsslod

There is an entry for Winslade [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU6548/winslade/] [accessed 8 August 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "Though the site is old, the church in its present form dates from 1816 [...] The font is modern with a small octagonal panelled bowl." The VCH (ibid.) notes on the existence of two medieval churches, one in Winslade, another in Kempshott: "Winslade and Kempshott were distinct parishes—each with a parish church of its own (fn. 49) —until 1393, in which year the patron of the two churches, John de Tichborne, directed a petition to the Bishop of Winchester praying that by reason of their poverty the parishes might be united [...] only three parishioners resided at Winslade and none at Kempshott. [...] The official of the bishopric held an inquiry attended by rectors of neighbouring churches and made the following return:—that the annual value of Winslade was six marks and of Kempshott one mark, that the patron of both churches was John de Tichborne, that the distance between the two churches was only 1½ miles, that there was no river between the parishes, and that only three parishioners resided at Winslade and none at Kempshott. The bishop accordingly decreed the union of the churches on 26 August 1393." The entry for Winslade St Mary's [Listing NGR: SP6741644602] mentions no font in it. [NB: we have no information on either of the medieval fonts from the two churches].
