Thruxton nr. Andover / Thorcleston / Throkeleston / Throkeston / Throxton / Thruckleston / Thurkcleston / Turcleston / Turkilleston

There is an entry for this Thruxton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU2845/thruxton/] [accessed 30 August 2018]; it reports a church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "In 1086 the Norman abbey of Cormeilles held the church of Thruxton" and remarks on the church: "Owing to the very complete modernizing of the building there is little left to tell its story. [...] The chancel [...] was probably rebuilt late in the 15th century, but the nave, though retaining no early detail, is doubtless much older [...] The font, which stands in the tower, dates from 1844 and replaced one of 1814, which in turn had replaced another which was broken by the fall of the tower in 1796. A piece of it and the 1814 font are now in the foundations of the porch". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SP2972544049] reports "the font and seating 1844". [NB: we have no information on whether or not the buried fragment belonged to the original medieval font]
