Itchen Abbas / Icene / Ichene / Ichin Abbas / Ichyn

There is an entry for Itchen [Abbas] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU5332/itchen-abbas/] [accessed 13 August 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The earliest known mention of the church of Itchen Abbas occurs in 1280 [...] The north-east doorway is of very similar detail to the chancel arch but retains very little old stonework: it is evident that the church of which they formed part was built early in the 12th century, probably between 1110 and 1120. [...] The font is of a poor design with a shallow bowl on a tall stem, of early 19th-century date, and in the churchyard is a disused modern Norman font. [...] The whole church was rebuilt in 1867 in 12th-century style in flint and Bath stone, the old chancel arch being re-used and some stones of the north doorway." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SP4850432255] reports: "N[orth] transept has early C19 font with shallow octagonal bowl on arcaded shaft." [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of the medieval font of the original church].
