The Southern Life web site for this church [www.southernlife.org.uk/hurstchu.htm] [accessed 27 July 2011] notes the 13th century font [cf. Index entry for Hurstbourne Tarrant No. 2], but it adds: "In the South aisle is a stone vessel which was possibly a previous font. This was found early in the 20th century in the old vicarage garden next to the church. The marks (on the rim) suggest that the fonts could be locked."
