Preston nr. Uppingham / Preston-on-the-Hulle (Rutland)

No entry found for this Preston in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Rutland, vol. 2, 1935) notes: "Preston was possibly one of the three churches of Ridlington recorded in Domesday Book, but when first specifically mentioned the advowson belonged to the undertenant of Preston manor. In 1216 Walter de Cantilupe had letters of presentation, the gift belonging to the king because the land of Thurstan de Montfort was in his hand. [...] The earliest church on the site was probably an aisleless building, but was enlarged c. 1150 by the addition of a north aisle, the arcade of which, of three bays, still remains. [...] The 13th-century font has a plain square bowl with bevelled angles, on a circular stem and four cylindrical legs." Font cover with a wooden square platform on which thin metal [brass?] scroll ribs; appears modern.
