There is an entry for this Crawley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU4234/crawley/] [accessed 11 December 2017]; it reports a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The jambs of the chancel arch are the only surviving part of a church of the middle of the twelfth century, from which the present building has developed. [...] a good deal of defaced twelfth-century stonework is built up in the walls. [...] The font is of fifteenth-century style, with an octagonal bowl with quatrefoiled panels." The octagonal font is indeed as indicated in the VCH. Of Perpendicular design with quatrefoil-in-a-circle panels on the sides of the octagonal basin, and an octagonal moulded pedestal base, also octagonal. Either a well-preserved or re-tooled 15th-century font or, more likely, a 19th-century one. The wooden cover is octagonal, flat and plain; modern.
