Scene Description: Source caption: "Site of the Old Church of All Saints East Stratton. In 1890 the stone cross in Stratton Park was erected with the inscription: “THIS CROSS ERECTED AD MDCCCXC MARKS THE SITE

There is an entry for [East and West] Stratton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/east-and-west-stratton/] [accessed 17 July 2018] but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes that the old church in the Park was removed, and replaced by the Church of All Saints built in 1873 in another location. The VCH (ibid.) mentions a register of baptisms for the old church for 1719-1809, while other registers "are incorporated with those of Micheldever from 1540 down to 1813". The font of the 19th-century church is modern, with an octagonal basin decorated with shields bearing emblems, and with other symbols (pelican piercing its chest to feed its young, etc.] [NB: we have no information on the font of the disappeared church].
