There are six entries for [Preston] Candover [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SU6041/preston-candover/] [accessed 19 July 2014], none of which mentions a church in it; the name of the place is likely related to Edwin the priest, lord and tenant-in-chief of one part in both 1066 and 1086, and/or the 'clerics' who were lords of another part in 1086. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "Although Domesday makes no mention of a church in Preston Candover, there seem to have been two churches besides manorial chapels in the thirteenth century. [...] Of the old church of Our Lady the chancel only remains [...] It was burnt down in 1883, a new church being built in the middle of the village to take its place. [...] The chancel dates from c. 1190, having a north window of that date [...] No part of the old church has been worked into the new building, and the font, though brought thence, is modern."
