Easton Royal / Easton nr. Marlborough

Noted in Pevsner & Cherry (1975): "Font.Octagonal, of goblet shape, plain, also, no doubt of c.1591". The Victoria County History (Wiltshire, vol. 16, 1999) notes: "In 1086 on the king's large estate called Wootton there were two churches belonging to the abbey of Mont St. Michel (Manche), one of which may have stood at Easton. [...] Later Easton church may have belonged to the abbey of la Trinité du Mont, Rouen (Seine-Maritime), until, between 1193 and 1198 [...] In 1369 it was demolished, permission was given for its materials to be used to enlarge the priory church, and the parishioners were licensed to use the priory church as the parish church. [...] The church was badly damaged or destroyed in the fire of 1493 (fn. 38) and apparently repaired or rebuilt. In 1536, 1553, and 1556 [...] the old priory church was demolished presumably about [1591] [...] dedication of the new church, called Holy Trinity in 1763, [...] The body of the church and the porch survive from 1591.[...] Registers from 1580 are extant and complete"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry for this parish.
