Font Notes:
There is an entry for Tring [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP9211/tring/] [accessed 20 September 2016]; it mentions neither cleric nor church in it, but it was until 1066 in the lordship of one Engelric, the priest, which may indicate the presence of a church in it. Lewis' Dictionary of 1848 notes: "the font is in the later English style, higly enriched." The Victoria County History (Hertfordshire, vol. 2, 1908) notes: "The church of Tring belonged to the abbot of Faversham in the reign of Edward I, having, perhaps, been granted to the abbey with the manor […] The church of ST. PETER AND ST. PAUL, TRING […] is in effect a fine fifteenth-century building, much repaired, but in point of size has probably grown very little since the thirteenth century […] The font is modern, and stands under the east arch of the tower." [NB: in the same VCH entry as Tring is included the church of All Saints, Long Marston, which was demolished in 1883 except for its 15thC tower; a font is noted: "The font is ancient, but its octagonal bowl has been cut back, and the necking and shaft alone preserve their old surface, appearing to be of the first half of the fourteenth century."] The Royal Commission on Historical Monuments, Hertforshire (1911) notes: "Font: with octagonal bowl, cut back necking and shaft, apparently 14th-century."
