The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "At the time of the Domesday Survey Lockerley was a chapelry annexed to the church of Mottisfont. [...] The [present] church is designed in 15th-century style. The fittings, font, seating, &c, are all modern [...] In the churchyard is preserved the old tub-shaped font without any detail from which a date can be assigned to it, and also one of the old windows, a small round-headed light with an external rebate and wide internal splay of 12th-century date." Chris Hayley, of www.southernlife.org.uk/lockerly.htm [accessed 3 August 2011] notes and illustrates the lead-lined cylindrical tub, now [ca. 2001?] in the porch. The modern font is an octagonal decorated with tracery and raised on a pedestal base.
