Font Notes:
No individual entry found for Tadley in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "At the time of the Domesday Survey there were two churches in Overton, [...] representing respectively the parish church of Overton and the dependent chapel of Tadley [...] Tadley was a chapelry dependent upon the mother church of Overton until 1878, [...] when [...] it was severed from Overton parish and constituted a separate ecclesiastical parish. [...] It is impossible to say how old the nave of the building is, as it is completely covered with plaster inside and roughcast outside, but its present condition seems to date from the 17th century. [...] The small modern font has an octagonal bowl resting on an alabaster shaft with a foliate capital." [NB: the modern font is Victorian; we have no information on a possible font from the Domesday-time building]
