There are three entries for this Denton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SK8632/denton/] [accessed 23 July 2014], but neither mentions a church or cleric in it. The font here is noted in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989): "Font. Octagonal, Perp[endicular]." It consists of an octagonal basin with lion heads and rosette motifs inscribed in octafoil panels on the sides, on an octagonal pedestal base decorated with rosettes, and lower base of the same shape; quadrangular plinth that appears modern. Wooden cover, octagonal with figure finial; modern.
