Font Notes:
There is an entry for Trent [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/ST5918/trent/] [accessed 10 August 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Phelps (1836) writes: "The font is octangular, with quatrefoil panels", without any indication of date. Pre-reformation font cover noted in Long (1923). The Dorset Historic Churches Trust [http://dorsethistoricchurchestrust.co.uk] informs that the baptismal font dates from the 19th century. The font consists of an octagonal basin with tapering sides decorated with tracery, raised on a polygonal pedestal stem decorated with windows or arches, and an octagonal lower base. The font cover is pyramidal octagonal decorated with pierced tracery and crocketed arrises. The font is modern [NB: the earlier parts of the church date back to the 14th century, but we have no information of the original font(s) of this church]
