There is an entry for Lyndhurst [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU2908/lyndhurst/] [accessed 20 September 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor font in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) reports a chapel here in the reign of Edward I (1272-1307) but notes that the present church is modern. The VCH does not mention a font in its entry but notes that the baptismal register starts in 1737. The Parish web site [] notes: "The present building, the third on the site, [...] was built between 1858-69". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU2988808198] does not mention earlier churches in it. [NB: we have no information from the early font here].
