There is are three entries for Standlynch [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SU1924/standlynch/] [accessed 24 August 2021] none of which mentions priest or church in it. "In 1147 a provision, intended to be permanent, was made for the service of a church at Standlynch, presumably then newly founded. [...] Rights of baptism and burial were [...] granted but the church remained a daughter church of Downton. [...] In 1147 its dedication was to St. Mary, [...] but later, probably in 1914, it became the church of Mary Queen of Angels and St. Michael and All the Angels [...] In the period 1859–66 it was again rebuilt"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry.

Medieval church rebuilt 1677, restored 1859-66 by William Butterfield [...] Medieval church on this site, probably built for the now demolished Standlynch House which was replaced by Trafalgar House (q.v.) in 1733. The Bockland family of the earlier house rebuilt the chapel in 1677. It became the Nelson family's private chapel after they were given Standlynch House, renamed Trafalgar House; the family were responsible for the restoration of C19" [no font mentioned].
