Hawkley / Haucle / Hauekleghe / Haveskle

No entry found for Hawkley in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "The chapel of Hawkley was annexed to and subservient to the church of Newton Valence at least as early as 1291, when the entry 'Ecclesia de Niwenton cum capella' undoubtedly meant the church of Newton with the chapel of Hawkley. [...] The church [...] was entirely rebuilt in 1861 on the site of the old church [...] The style is an adaptation of Romanesque, and the church contains no ancient fittings but the font, of Purbeck marble with a square bowl on a round shaft, formerly surrounded by four angle shafts, the bases of which alone remain. It dates from c. 1190–1200." The entry for this church in English Heritage (1986) reads: "Parish church. 1865, on the site of a medieval church, a re-building by Teulon in Neo-Norman style [...] Purbeck font (C12) from the old church, a square block resting on a central drum, but lacking the former 4 columns at each corner." [NB: Samuel Sanders Teulon (1812–1873), Gothic Revival architect]. The old baptismal font consists of a square basin with plain sides [later painted with a black/red lettering inscription in English], raised on a central shaft and four angle colonnettes, all round [the angle colonnettes missing], and a moulded lower base, also square; the square plinth is modern. Modern font cover consisting of a plain square wooden platform with a round hole in the centre, with four metal scroll ribs ending in a cross finial.
