No entry found for Blendworth in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) reports two churches in Blendworth: St. Giles' and Holy Trinity's; the latter was built in 1851, but St. Giles' "is a little rectangular building [...] showing no features which can be older than the eighteenth century, though it may well be that the masonry of the walls is mediaeval [...] The first book of the registers contains baptisms 1586–1726". [NB: St. Giles' is reported demolished in the 1960s].
