There is an entry for this Stratfield [Mortimer] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU6363/stratfield-mortimer/] [accessed 1 August 2018], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "Mortimer West End, once a tithing of the parish of Stratfield Mortimer (county Berks), was constituted an ecclesiastical parish in 1870, and a civil parish in 1894. It is situated 3 miles west from Mortimer station, on the Reading and Basingstoke branch of the Great Western Railway. The parish of Silchester bounds it on the south, and the county of Berkshire forms its northern, eastern, and western boundaries. The village is grouped round the church of St. Saviour and the vicarage [...] The church of ST. SAVIOUR is a small building, which was erected in 1856." NB: we have no information on the font here but it is probably a modern one, contemporary with the mid-19th century date of the church itself.
