There are two entries for Pusey [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU3596/pusey/] [accessed 4 June 2015], one of which mentions a church in it. There are two entries in the Victoria County History (Berkshire, vol. 4, 1924) that make reference to Pusey's church. One is in the entry for Pusey itself, which notes: "There was a church on Roger de Ivrey's estate in Pusey at the time of the Domesday Survey. [...] The [present] church of All Saints is an 18th-century building [...] It does not stand on the site of the old building, which stood near Pusey House, and it is said to have been rebuilt in 1745. [...] The wooden font, in which Dr. Pusey was baptized, has been removed from this church, and is now at Grove, in Wantage parish." The second reference is in the VCH entry for Wantage and Grove, its hamlet (ibid.), also with a reference to the later wooden font move to Grove. [NB: we have no information on the original font of the old church at Pusey].
