There is an entry for [Bishop's] Sutton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU6031/bishops-sutton/] [accessed 19 June 2018]; it mentions "1 church. 1.0 church lands" in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The nave has been but little altered in its main features since its building about 1150 [...] The font stands by the south door of the nave, large and baluster-shaped, with a moulded base, and inconveniently high. It is of eighteenth-century date." [NB: we have no information on the font from the Domesday-time church here]
