Huntington nr. York / Hunteindune / Huntenton, Huntindune / Huntingdon / Huntyngdon in Galtres

There are three entries [one is multiple-place] for this Huntington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE6156/huntington/] [accessed 11 December 2019]; one of the three entries reports a priest and a church in it; another entry, being multiple-place and including five places, reports a church in it. Bulmer's Directory of 1890 notes: "The massive font is supported on a thick central shaft and four small pillars, with Cornish serpentine shafts." [source: Transcription by Colin Hinson © 1999 in www.yorkshireCDbooks.co.uk/big/eng/YKS/NRY/Huntington/Huntington90.html]. Morris (1931), however, mentions only "the bowl of an acient font" in the churchyard. [NB: although we have no on-site confirmation at present, the font reported in Bulmer [cf. supra] appears to be of the common Victorian type that replaced fonts of earlier periods in the Yorkshires, especially with the mention of "Cornish serpentine shafts", notoriously ubiquitous as outer colonnettes in the bases of Victorian fonts of this type]. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 2, 1923) notes: "The church of Huntington, which since 1432, if not earlier, has been under the invocation to All Saints, [...] belonged in 1086 to the Count of Mortain's manor. [...] The structure, with the exception of parts of the chancel, is modern, but the re-erected south door is evidence of the existence of a church here in the 12th century. [...] The stone bowl of the old font now lies in the churchyard." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE6149356154] notes: "Church. C15 chancel with nave, tower and organ chambers of 1874"; it mentions no font in it.
