Font Notes:
There are three entries for [East] Tyrtherley [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU2929/east-tytherley/] [accessed 13 September 2018], one of which reports seven churches in it [i.e., the parish church of Mottisfont and six dependent chapelries -- cf. Index entry for Mottisfonm]. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "At the time of the Domesday Survey [i.e., 1086] East Tytherley was a chapelry annexed to Mottisfont and forming part of the property of Thomas, Archbishop of York, [...] but it was afterwards separated from it and became a separate parish. [...] The history of the church is of the simplest; the chancel and nave as they now stand were built about the middle of the 13th century and remained unaltered until 1863, when the porch, transept, vestry and tower were added, the latter in 1893 [...] and the whole building rather drastically restored. The tower was added in 1898 [...] The late 13th-century font has an octagonal bowl and a circular moulded stem and base." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU2931927832] notes: "At W C13 font of large octagonal bowl on round column on octagonal base". [NB: we have no information on the earlier font of the church/chapel noted in Domesday]
