No entry found for Micheldever in the Domesday survey. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "Micheldever church was included in Edward the Elder's [i.e., Edward (ca.874 - 924), son of Alfred the Great] grant of the vill to the New Minster, [...] but no mention is made of it in the Domesday Survey. In the Taxatio of 1291 the church was assessed at £66 13s. 4d. [...] The font, which stands on the north side in the west bay, is modern, with panelling of fifteenth-century style on the bowl. Two fragments of Purbeck marble from an older rectangular font with arcaded sides are also preserved under the tower."
