Font Notes:
The Victoria County History (Wiltshire, vol. 8, 1965) notes: "The earliest reference found to a church at Pertwood is in 1333 [...] Until the beginning of the 19th century, the church of St. Peter was a small, stone, 12th-century building with a round-headed door on the south side. [...] It was restored in c. 1812 by the lord of the manor, and in 1822 there was said to be no feature of antiquity left except a holywater stoop to the south of the altar".
