The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "At the time of the Domesday Survey there was a church in the parish attached to the manor [...] The history of the present building begins c. 1200 [...] The only trace of earlier work than this is the south doorway, which is of late 12th-century date. [...] The font is of 13th-century date and has a plain circular bowl resting on a stem which has attached round shafts at each angle and half-octagonal shafts on each face, each having a moulded base. It stands on a footpace paved with 14th-century tiles of various single and double patterns." The wooden cover is said to be of the 17th century. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU3832153091] reports: "Within, the pointed arcade rests on cylindrical columns, the font is C13 (with a C17 wood cover)". [cf.
