Chilcomb / Ciltecumbe / Chiltecumbe

There is an entry for this Chilcomb [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU5028/chilcomb/] [accessed 3 July 2018]; it reports nine churches in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "At the time of the Domesday Survey there were nine churches in Chilcomb, seven of which evidently belonged to the seven smaller manors which were included in Chilcomb, and the remaining two to Chilcomb itself [...] Of these one became the parish church, and the other a dependent chapelry attached to it. [...] The church of St. Andrew is a small building [...] a plain little country church of about 1130–40, standing on the side of the down above the village, and in its essential features not much altered from its original condition. [...] All internal fittings are modern, the font, with a small bowl on an octagonal shaft, standing on a marble coffin-lid with a much damaged cross of fourteenth-century date." This same font is confirmed in the entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU5074028402].
