No entry for East Tisted found in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) reports documentary evidence of the church "about 1234, when the advowson of East Tisted was granted in reversion to Robert Walerond [...] The church [...] was entirely rebuilt in 1846, with the exception of the lower part of the tower"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing 1351138] reports: "the fittings are Victorian, with an octagonal font and octagonal nave columns" in it. The present font, an octagonal basin with plain sides and a tall underbowl chamfer, raised on a cylindrical pedestal base and lower base, is modern. On the font is a pyramidal wooden cover raised by means of a counterweight pulley. Both font and cover appear to be about the same period, the 19th century, perhaps ca. 1846, the time of the re-building of St. James'. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church]
