No individual entry found for Weyhill in the Domesday survey, but there is an entry there for Penton [Grafton] [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU3247/penton-grafton/] [accessed 4 September 2018] and it mentions a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The church of Weyhill [...] is mentioned in Domesday Book [...] A great part of the building is modern. [...] The chancel arch probably dates from the end of the 12th century, and the chancel itself is of the 13th century [...] The font is octagonal, quite plain, and whitewashed, with a very shallow bowl: it has the marks of staples in its upper edge, but otherwise shows no signs of antiquity." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU3195047926] reports a "Plain stone font" in it but mentions no date/period.
