There are two entries for Farley [Chamberlayne] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU3927/farley-chamberlayne/] [accessed 10 September 2018] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes of this church: "the south door of the nave, c. 1160, probably gives the date of the work [...] The font, which stands under the west gallery, is of baluster shape with a very small bowl, and is in part of 18th-century work." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU3864227116] reports a "C18 heavy baluster font" in it. [NB: a still newer font was installed in 2000 -- we have no information on the medieval font of this church]
