No entry found for Catherington in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The greater part of the building belongs to the end of the twelfth century and the beginning of the thirteenth, [...] doubtless developed from an older church [...] The first book of the registers contains baptisms, marriages, and burials from 1602 to 1640". There is no mention of a font in the VCH entry. The present font in this church is modern, a cylindrical basin decorated with quatrefoils, etc., raised on a round moulded pedestal base. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font]
