No entry found for St. Mary Extra in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "Jesus Chapel as first built was a little building [...] fitted with a wooden chancel screen, a Holy Table, a font, a pulpit, seats on the floor and gallery, and a bell.' In Captain Smith's will of 1630 it is called 'Jesus Chappell at Ridway.' It has been enlarged and repaired again and again, till nothing but part of the west end of its original building remains. [...] Of its old fittings only the altar table remains, and the old pulpit has been used up as wainscoting in the vestry." The entry for this chapel in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU4389011604] [accessed 28 June 2018] mentions no font in it. The present font is modern. [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of the early-17th century font of this chapel].
