Rowner / Revenore / Roughner / Rouwenore / Rowenor / Ruenore / Rugenhore

There is an entry for Rowner [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU5801/rowner/] [accessed 26 June 2018] but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The church [...] is a small building [...] being apparently work of the first half of the twelfth century, to which in the thirteenth century were added a wide north aisle and north chapel, which have become the nave and chancel, the older chancel being used as organ chamber and vestry. The church was extensively repaired in 1874 [...] The font at the west end of the nave has an octagonal bowl and shaft." The Parish web site [www.stmrowner.org.uk/History.htm] [accessed 12 August 2011] notes: "The mediaeval stone font [...] was destroyed in the 1990 fire). The [present] font, replaced its mediaeval forebear destroyed in the fire. The new font is made of 3 cwt of Bath stone, on a brick pillar and York stone platform, and was consecrated in February 1999. The cast-iron ‘corona’ of the Crown of Thorns over it was given by Old Alresford Place, the Winchester Diocesan Retreat House."
