There is an entry for Treeton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK4387/treeton/] [accessed 29 November 2018]; it reports a priest and a church in it. Glynne's 13 April 1860 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font has an octagonal bowl, diminishing downwards to the stem." Noted in Morris (1932): "Plain octagonal font, Dec[orated] or Perp[endicular]." Mee (1941) dates the font to the 14th century. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK4325087708] notes: "Church. C12 north arcade and lower part of tower, otherwise late C13 and early C14 with C15 additions of south chapel, south porch, west bay of nave and clerestorey, present roofs and upper stage of tower. Restored 1869 and 1892, C19 vestry extended 1973", but mentions no font in it. Nor do Harman & Pevsner (21017). [NB: we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church -- the Domesday book of 1086 records a church at Treeton]
