Font Notes:
No entry found for Privett in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The earliest mention of a chapel in Privett is in the year 1391 [...] The first book of registers contains the baptisms 1538–1632 [...] The [present] church was built in 1876–8, from the designs of J. L. Pearson, and occupies the site of the old church, of which nothing now remains." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU6791628475] reports a "square font on pillars" in it. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of this church].
