There is an entry for this Milton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ6573/milton/] [accessed 3 May 2015, and it mentions a church in it. Glynne (1877) reports a modern font in this church, but a font here is listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. The entry in English Heritage notes a mid-19th century font here as well. The Milton and Denton Parish web site informs: "FONT: This is quite modern dating from only the 1820’s – a replacement of the old font which was removed for repairs and never returned and later found in a garden in Whitehall Place but badly damaged and of no further use."
