There is an entry for Wonston [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU4739/wonston/] [accessed 27 July 2017]; it reports a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "There was a church in Wonston at the time of the Domesday Survey [1086] [...] The first book of the registers contains all entries from 1570 [...] The church was burnt in 1714, the nave being more damaged than the rest of the building, but several of the old features survived the fire, and the walls are in large measure ancient. [...] The font is modern, as are all the fittings of the church". A 17th-century (?) font discovered buried under the floorboards of this church is now in use at the Mission Church of St. Margaret, in nearby South Wonston [cf. Index entry for South Wonston]. The present "octagonal font of 1871 (by Laing) is perpendicular in style [...] with quatrefoils on the stem and thick foliage on the bowl". [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of this church].
