There are two entries for Kilmeston [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU5926/kilmeston/] [accessed 5 July 2018], one of which reports a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "There was a chapel in Kilmeston at the time of the Domesday Survey [...] The church of St. Andrew is in plan a simple rectangle with a modern south aisle and north porch, and any ancient features which it may possess are hidden by plastering and ivy. [...] The first book of the registers, which contains a memorandum that it was bought 1 June, 1671, at Winchester, runs from 1661 to 1812 [...] The font is urn-shaped, of the eighteenth century, and there are no old fittings in the church, except that below the south window of the chancel is a piscina and a square locker." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU5899625958] mentions no font in it. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of this church].
