There is an entry for this Milton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SZ2394/milton/] [accessed 13 February 2020] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 5, 2011) notes that the church "was rebuilt in 1832 except the tower, which is of early 17th-century date." No font mentioned in the VCH entry. [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of the early-17th century font].
