There are two entries for Dummer [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU5845/dummer/] [accessed 9 July 2018], bot of which report a church in each. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "There was a church at Dummer in 1086 [...] The south doorway of the nave dates from the end of the twelfth century, and the nave walls may be of this time [...] The first book of registers runs from 1540 to 1741 [...] The octagonal font, at the south-west of the nave, is modern." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU5879146240] reports: "A plain octagonal font is Victorian". [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of this church].
