No entry found for Aldershot in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 191) notes: "From an early date Aldershot was a chapelry of Crondall, and was served from that church. The earliest known record of the chapel of Aldershot occurs during the episcopacy of William of Wykeham [...] (1367–98), but it is probable that one existed there long before that date. [...] The only old parts of the church are the chancel, which seems to be of the 15th century [...] All the internal fittings are modern [...] The font is octagonal with panelled bowl, and stands in the nave under the gallery." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU8682649892] mentions no font in it. [NB: we have no information on the font from the late-Medieval church -- the Holy Trinity Church is 19th-century]
