Font Notes:
There is an entry for Nursling [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU3516/nursling/] [accessed 17 July 2018]; it reports a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "There was a church in Nursling at the time of the Domesday Survey. [...] The first book of the registers begins in 1617 and runs to 1735 [...] The building in its present form appears to date from the first quarter of the fourteenth century, but includes part of the thirteenth-century church. In 1881 the church was repaired by Street [i.e., Sir George Edmund Street (1824-1881), Victorian archictect] [...] To the east of the south doorway is a holy-water niche, and the font, which is modern, stands near by, having an octagonal bowl on marble shafts." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU3593316473] notes: "Parish church. Of Saxon origin, mainly C14, with a C13 transept, restored by G.E Street 1881 [...] mid C19 Perpendicular octagonal font."
