Trentham No. 1 / Trenham

There is an entry for Trentham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SJ8740/trentham/] [accessed 12 July 2019]; it mentions a priest but not a church in it, though there must have been one there. The entry for Trentham Priory in the Victoria County History (Stafford, vol. 3, 1970) notes several times that "the parish church of Trentham with its dependencies was placed first among the priory's possessions"; it also notes that priory and its buildings were dispersed at the Dissolution and adds: "The medieval buildings have disappeared, but the parish church, which was largely rebuilt in 1844, incorporates remains of the conventual church". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SJ8653940907] notes: "1844. Architect: Sir Charles Barry. Stone. Perpendicular style. Nave with aisles and chancel in one, the original chancel and tower having been destroyed. Incorporates late Norman arcades of 4 bays with late C12 capitals, and mediaeval shafts which probably came from the priory church." [no font mentioned]. The Telegraph.co.uk [www.telegraph.co.uk/news/] for 21 July 2004 reported: "The vicar and wardens of a historic parish church were ordered to pay costs estimated at £20,000 after a consistory court ruled they had moved the font and carpeted over rare floor tiles without permission. Judge John Shand, sitting as the Chancellor of the diocese of Lichfield, said that the Rev. Nigel di Castiglione had deliberately ignored proper procedures at St Mary and All Saints parish church in Trentham, Staffs."
