No entry found for Steep in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The eastern bays of the south arcade of the nave, c. 1180, are the earliest pieces of detail in the building, but it seems probable that the oldest masonry on the site belongs to a church of the Colemore and Ropley type, and probably of the first half of the twelfth century. [...] The font at the west of the nave has a tapering round bowl, becoming hexagonal, with six projecting trefoiled arches on its sides, the capitals of which are shown in profile only. It stands on six modern dwarf columns and a central shaft, and is of early fourteenth-century date." The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: SU7464025294] reports: "The C14 font is hexagonal on six short shafts around a central shaft." [NB: we have no information on the font from the late-12th century church].
