There is an entry for Fareham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU5806/fareham/] [accessed 25 June 2018]; it mentions a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "There was a church at Fareham in 1086 [...] The church of St. Peter and St. Paul preserves of its mediaeval building only the chancel. [...] The fittings of the rest of the church are of no particular interest". The entry for this church in Historic England [Source ID: 1094332] reports a "1930s font with an octagonal stone bowl on a stem with engaged shafts on a later large ashlar stone two-tier base" in it. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font here].
