There is an entry for this Ashe [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU5349/ashe/] [accessed 14 August 2018]; it reports a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "There was a church in the parish at the time of the Domesday Survey. [...] The destruction of the original church was so complete that there are only a few details of it left. One of these is the basin and jambs of the 14th-century piscina in the south wall of the chancel, and in the vestry is a 12th-century pillar piscina which was found built up in the wall. It is a good and early specimen, c. 1120 [...] The church [...] was built in 1877–8 on an old site." [NB: there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry; we have no information on the font of the medieval church].
