There is an entry for [Little] Somborne [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU3832/little-somborne/] [accessed 11 September 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 2011) notes of this church: "The west end and part at least of the side walls are of pre-Conquest date, with long and short quoins at the western angles and a pilaster strip on the north wall. The other architectural features point to a late 12th-century date [...] The fittings are all modern, including the font, which is circular and quite plain" The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SP3428632629] repots a "C19 font" in this church which it describes as: "Saxon C11 nave with C12 features, C12 chancel long demolished." [NB: we have no information on the early font]
