The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The church of St. John the Baptist was burnt in the fire which destroyed so much of the town in 1689, the tower and walls of the nave alone remaining [...] In 1897–8 the late seventeenth-century building was replaced by modern Gothic work [...] part of the shaft of a fourteenthcentury font." [cf. Index entry for New Alresford No. 1 for a fragment of a 12th-century font].
