Upper Eldon

There is no individual entry for Upper Eldon in the Domesday survey, but there are three entries for [King's] Somborne [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU3631/kings-somborne/] [accessed 11 September 2018] one of which reports "2 churches. 0.5 church lands" in it [cf. infra]. Cox & Harvey (1907) mention here a noteworthy baptismal font of the 13th century, Early English period, made of Purbeck marble, "with eight small shafts". The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "There were two churches in King's Somborne Manor in 1086. [...] One was King's Somborne Church, the other was perhaps the church at Upper Eldon. The advowson of the church of King's Somborne was included in the grant of the manor to William Briwere the elder, [...] and was by him granted to the Prior and convent of Mottisfont. [...] Some time before 1240 the church was appropriated to the canons, [...] who presented the vicars until the Dissolution. [...] The whole building dates from the beginning of the 13th century or the end of the 12th. The east wall has been rebuilt in brick, probably at the beginning of the 19th century, and the roof is not the original one, though, since it is quite plain, it is impossible to say when the reroofing occurred. Some of the windows have been blocked up and the only door has been almost completely defaced, otherwise the structure remains much as it must have been when first built"; there is no font mentioned in the VCH entry for this church. [NB: recent [2000+] views of the interior of this church do not show a font in it; whre did the 13thC font noted in Cox & Harvey above go?]
