Font Notes:
There are three entries for [West] Tytherley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU2729/west-tytherley/] [accessed 13 September 2018], one of which reports seven churches in it [NB: West Tytherley was one of the seven, a chapelry dependent on the mother church at Motisfont]. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "At the time of the Domesday Survey West Tytherley was a chapelry annexed to the church of Mottisfont [...] There is an early 13th-century font of black marble. The bowl is square with traces of foliage on the sides, the stem circular, with four modern shafts." [cf. Index entry for West Tytherley No. 2 for the remains of a 15th-century font in this church] [NB: we have no information on the font from the earlier period of this church]
