There is an entry for this Woodcott [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU4354/woodcott/] [accessed 27 August 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The church of Woodcott was appropriated to the use of the Prior and brethren of the hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England in 1303 [...] The church of St. James, a small building of flint and stone, erected in 1704 [...] The only old book of the registers is one containing baptisms, marriages and burials from 1578 to 1762; the others appear to be missing." There is no mention of the font in the VCH entry, but it is obvious from the registers that the medieval church had a font in use. [NB: we have no information on the font from the original church]
