Alderton No. 2 / Alderton with Dixton / Aldritone

There are two entries for this Alderton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP0033/alderton/] [accessed 17 December 2018] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Gloucester. Vol. 6, 1965) notes: "the font in use in 1962 appears to be a remodelled 12th-century font [Cf. 'Glos. fonts', Trans. B.G.A.S. xlix. 132, 152.]" Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. Square scalloped Norman bowl, with the corners cut off to present the appearance of an octagon. Fine pedestal with rounded corner shafts and capitals formed from the chamfer of the bowl." The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with metal decorations and ring handle. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SP0020533178] notes: "Anglican parish church. Perpendicular, extensively restored 1890-2 by Knight and Chatters. [...] C12 limestone font in the south aisle with an octagonal bowl on a pedestal with engaged round corner shafts with hollow-moulded capitals. [...] C18 gabled stone-built porch with a high Tudor-arched entrance, inside which lies the greater part of the bowl of a Cll font." [cf. Index entry for Alderton No. 1 for a fragment of an earlier font from this church].
