Font Notes:
Cox (1875-1877) notes that the chapelry of Atlow was documented as early as 1205, and more explicitly in 1278 and 1291; that it was chapelry of Bradbourne until the Reformation, after wich it "attained the semi-independence of a parochial chapelry [...] The old chapel was almost entirely rebuilt about the middle of the last century [i.e., ca. 1750], nothing being left of the old fabric beyond a portion of the foundations and walls." Cox (ibid.) further notes that, on his visit to this church "some four years ago" [i.e., ca. 1870], he found only a modern font in it.
