Harman & Pevsner (2017) report a holy-water stoup "Possibly from the Priory" in the south porch of the late-19th century Parish Church of St. Paul, Monk Bretton. The entry for this modern church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE3637007623] does not mention the old stoup; it does describe the font of the new church: "Grey-marble, octagonal font in baptistry", presumably contemporary with the late-19th century church building.
