No entry for this Hatton found in the Domesday survey. Notices of the Churches of Warwickshire (vol. 2, 1858) informs: "The ancient font stands at the west end of the nave and consists of a circular basin, two feet four inches in diameter, and eight and a half inches deep, placed on a short octagonal-shaped shaft and sloping base." The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 3, 1945) notes: "The church of Hatton was given by Hugh Fitz William to the priory of St. Mary of Monmouth, [...] and afterwards to the nuns of Wroxall. [...] The rectory was appropriated to the priory and was farmed for £12 at the Dissolution. [...] The nuns found a priest to say prayers at Hatton, and to take burial services, &c., as required. [...] After the Dissolution the church was served by a curate. [...] It was stated about 1550 that the church had been robbed of everything worth taking away. [...] The parish church [...] was rebuilt in 1880, except the west tower, which dates probably from the early 16th century. [...] The font has an ancient bowl that was originally round but has been cut in the lower half to an octagon to fit a modern stem and base; it is probably of the 13th century." [NB: the date of the donation by Hugh [?] was probably ca. mid-12th century]. The re-cutting affects only the lower end of the basin, which now has the shape of an octagonal chamfered underbowl.
