Font Notes:
There is an entry for Otterbourne [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU4622/otterbourne/] [accessed 23 July 2018]; it reports a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The old church of Otterbourne stood at some distance to the south, on lower ground; its chancel is all that is now left. This is of thirteenth-century date". A sign at the place where the church stood informs that the chancel was demolished in 1971. [NB: we have no information on its font]
