Chiselhampton/Chislehampton is not mentioned in the Domesday survey by name. The VCH (Oxford, vol. 7 (1962) notes: "Since 1932 Chislehampton has been part of the large civil parish of Stadhampton, [...] but for the greater part of its history it has been a small independent parish and township, which contained 939 acres in 1881. [...] Chislehampton appears not to have acquired full parochial status until 1763 [...] Chislehampton church in the Middle Ages was a chapelry of Dorchester and probably had the same original status as the five other chapels, including Stadhampton, confirmed to Dorchester in the papal bull of 1146. Little is known, however, of the early history of the church and as in the postReformation period Chislehampton was regarded as a chapelry of Stadhampton [...] The present church at Chislehampton, dedicated to ST. KATHERINE, is a small 18th-century structure of stone, built by Charles Peers, the lord of the manor. [...] The font is contemporary with the church building". The VCH (ibid.) further notes that the medieval church still appears on "estate map of 1628".
