Font Notes:
No entry found for Beaulieu in the Domesday survey. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "In 1205 King John founded Beaulieu Abbey [...] In 1227, twenty-two years after the foundation of the abbey, the church of Beaulieu was completed. [...] The church was of greater area than any of the Cistercian order in this country [...] In April 1538 the abbey and all its possessions were surrendered to the Crown [...] adjoining the warming-house, but placed north and south, was the frater [i.e., refectory], now used as the parish church [...] The chapel is a detached building of late 13th-century date, of which all the walls remain to their full height, save half that on the north and the east gable"; there is no mention of its font in the VCH entry. The entry for the present parish church (former abbey refectory) in Historic England [Listing NGR: SP3883202548] does not mention a font, but states: "Rest of monuments and furnishings C19", which presumably includes the present font, a square basin raised on a broad central shaft and four outer colonnettes. [NB: we have no information on the font of this church]
