Tredington nr. Stratford-upon-Avon / Tradynton / Tredinctun / Tredinctune / Tredingctun / Tredinton / Tredyngton / Tredynton

There is an entry for this Tredington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SP2543/tredington/] [accessed 4 February 2019]; it mentions a priest, but not a church in it, though there probably was one there. Miller (1890) notes: "There is an interesting Norman doorway on the south side [...] The font is of an early date." The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913) notes: "The remains of the Saxon church consist of the ranges of windows above the nave arcades, which were discovered at the last restoration of the church. [...] The 15th-century font is octagonal with traceried sides to the bowl." The font consists of an octagonal basin with verttical sides decorated with Gothic tracery; graded underbowl chamfer; octagonal stem and lower base over two-step plinth of the same shape, with kneeling stone. Threre is a late 19th or early 20th century photograph of this font in the context of the west end of the nave, by Catharine W. Ward in the George Eastman House on-line archive [www.geh.org/ar/strip14/htmlsrc/m198122911611_ful.html#topofimage] [accessed 29 June 2008]. English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP2591743570] (1966) reports a "C15 octagonal font with flat traceried panels in octagonal base of 2 steps. Lead bowl" [i.e., lining?]
