There is an entry for [Martyr] Worthy [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU5132/martyr-worthy/] [accessed 5 July 2018]; it reports a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The nave dates from c. 1140–50, its north and south doorways being original work. The north doorway is somewhat more richly treated than the south, and though not now the principal entrance, may at one time have been so. [...] The earliest mention of a church at Martyr Worthy is in the year 1251 [...] The font, near the south door, is modern, with an octagonal bowl on a panelled stem, and there are no ancient fittings in the church." [NB: we have no information on the medieval font].
