The Victoria County History (Wiltshire, vol, 14, 1991) notes : "There was a church at Garsdon in 1265 [...] There are registers of baptisms, marriages, and burials from 1682", but does not mention a baptismal font. [NB: the original font was probably lost or disposed of in one of the many re-buildings and renovations of this church; we have no information on it]
