There is an entry for Hordle [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SZ2795/hordle/] [accessed 13 February 2020] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. White (1878) reports a modern font in this church. "erected in memory of the late Col. Clinton, of Ashley Clinton". The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 5, 1912) notes: "Hordle Church was existing in the time of the Conqueror [...] The site of the old church is at Hordle Cliff, about 2 miles to the south of the present village [... The church] was taken down in 1829." There is no mention of a font in the VCH entry for this parish [NB: we have no information on the medieval church here].
