Font Notes:
There are six entries for [Over] Wallop [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU2838/over-wallop/] [accessed 8 September 2015], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 2011) notes: "It is probable that the chapel in Wallop to which 8 acres of tithe belonged at the time of the Domesday Survey was in Over Wallop. [...] Over Wallop was, however, a separate parish in 1291 [...] The two west bays of the north arcade are of late 12th-century date, and point to the former existence of an early nave [...] to which a north aisle was added about 1180 [...] There are no old fittings except two 17th-century benches at the west end of the south aisle, and a fine octagonal 15th-century font at the west end of the nave, with quatrefoiled panels on the bowl, one panel containing a shield apparently of the arms of Incent. On the chamfer below the bowl are two eagles, the other six faces having leaf patterns, and the stem has trefoiled panels." The wooden cover on the font is probably 18th- or 19th-century. [NB: we have no information on the earlier font of the medieval church].
