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: "In the churchyard are the remains of a 15th-century octagonal panelled font." [cf. index entry for West Tytherley No. 1 for the earlier font of this church]
