There is an entry for [Abbotts] Ann [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU3243/abbotts-ann/] [accessed 28 August 2018] but ir mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "In King Edward's charter of 903 a church is mentioned with the 15 hides in Ann granted to the New Minster [...] The church of St. Mary the Virgin [...] was rebuilt in 1716 [...] and nothing of the earlier building appears to have been preserved except the bells and a small brass. [...] The altar table, pulpit, font—a small one of oak—and the seats are all contemporary with the building." [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of the original church here]
