The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 5, 1912) mentions the Church of St. Swithun as dating from the 15th century, but reports the furnishings as modern. The baptismal font, of roughly Perpendicular type and design is built into the west wall of the nave; it appears Victorian. An earlier church said to be documented by mid-13th century was destroyed by fire. [NB: we have no inormation on the medieval font here].
