Font Notes:
There is an entry for Stoke [Dry] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8596/stoke-dry/] [accessed 22 July 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Tyrrell-Green (1928: 40) reports the surviving basin of an old baptismal font from this church. The Victoria County History (Rutland, vol. 2, 1935) notes: "The original church appears to have been an aisleless 12th-century building covering the area of the present nave, with a square-ended chancel probably represented by the chancel still existing. The only remaining architectural features belonging to this early building, however, are two portions of stringcourse in the chancel (the longer in the north wall inside, the other on the exterior of the south wall, near the west end), and the responds of the chancel arch, the shafts and one of the capitals of which are richly carved and apparently of late 12th-century date. [...] There was an extensive restoration in 1898 [...] The font in use is modern, but the plain octagonal bowl of an old font is preserved."
