Trentham No. 2 / Trenham

There is an entry for Trentham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SJ8740/trentham/] [accessed 12 July 2019]; it mentions a priest but not a church in it, though there must have been one there. The entry for Trentham Priory in the Victoria County History (Stafford, vol. 3, 1970) deals with the confusing origins of the priory here, its legendary 7th-century foundation and the possibility that thre had been some sort of community prior to the 12th-century Augustinian foundation: "the foundation charter of the priory speaks of 'the restoration of an abbey of canons'[...] and supplies the 13th-century tradition with its only support. It is just conceivable that the word abbathia, used in the foundation charter, does not necessarily imply that the house was presided over by an abbot, and it may thus refer to a pre-Conquest minster, or house of secular canons, at Trentham'; the VCH entry further notes that "several times that "the parish church of Trentham with its dependencies was placed first among the priory's possessions"; it also notes that priory and its buildings were dispersed at the Dissolution, the priory church being cannibalised by the parish church: " little is known of the last days of the priory. It was one of the lesser monasteries whose suppression was ordered under the Act of 1536, [...] and it was evidently dissolved in 1537 [...] The medieval buildings have disappeared, but the parish church, which was largely rebuilt in 1844, incorporates remains of the conventual church".
