There are three entries for Sutton [-on-Trent] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SK7965/sutton-on-trent/] [accessed 8 August 2019], one of which reports a priest and a church in it. A 1902 report in the Transactions of the Thoroton Society [http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/articles/tts/tts1902/autumn/suttonontrent.htm] [accessed 5 January 2009] notes: "The font, which will shortly be moved to its proper position at the west end of the church, is an example of the destructive work of the Puritan soldiery in the hacking off of the carvings from the upper portion." Listed in Cox (1912) as a "much damaged" octagonal font of the Decorated period. Pevsner & Williamson do not mention a font. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TL2190647532] notes: "Parish church. C13 origins, C14 and C15, with some C16 and C17 reworkings. [...] C14 cylindrical font on quatrefoil stem to N aisle." In 2009 the font in the church is a slim octagonal mounted type, almost completely plain, and not matching Cox' description. The present font in this church consists of a plain octagonal basin raised on an octagonal pedestal base, the sides decorated with shallow trefoiled windows. Octagonal wooden cover of two volumes with sunken panels on the sides and ball finial; pulley system to raise it; appears modern.
