The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "At the time of the Domesday Survey there was one church in West Meon [...] The church of St. John was rebuilt in 1843–6 to the north of the former church, nothing of the older building being preserved. [...] The first book of the registers contains all entries from 1542 to 1639 [...] The old font was removed at the rebuilding, and is now in St. Edmund's, Lombard Street" [cf. Index entry for West Meon]. Blatch (1995) mentions only the Wren-period font in this church. [cf. Index entry for London No. 7 for the Wren-period font in this church].
