Flamborough / Flaneburc / Flaneburg

There are two entries for Flamborough [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TA2270/flamborough/] [accessed 2 February 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Prickett (1831) writes: "The font is ancient, and much resembles that of Barmston […] It wants, however, the ornament of circular arches at the base." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. Ditto in Hobson (1924). Described and illustrated in Tyrrell-Green (1928) as a cylindrical tub-shaped baptismal font of the Norman period; the pattern of ornamentation covering the whole sides of the font is a bold trellis, with a band of rope motif at the upper rim side. The base on which it is raised is probably modern, as is the flat wooden lid on it. Raised on a polygonal plinth with kneeling stone. Mann (1985: 48) suggests a date for this font ca. 1130 based on stylistic similarities with other Norman carving in East Yorkshire. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TA2261570155] notes: "Church. c1100 largely rebuilt 1864 by R G Smith of Hull. South porch 1893, west tower 1896. [...] C12 font with all-over lozenge ornament." The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2019) notes: "Sculpture of the Romanesque period is on the chancel arch and the font. [...] The church is first mentioned in a charter of 1094-1100, which records that it was given by Hugh, earl of Chester to Whitby Abbey, but this is thought to be spurious, as there is no further evidence that Whitby held Flambrough church. By 1130, when it was next mentioned, the church had been given by William son of Niel to Bridlington Priory (VCHER, ii, 160). [...] The cylindrical font is at the W end of the nave, against a screen to the tower arch. It is set on a modern base but, the cylinder being wider than it is high, the modern base might replace an earlier one of much the same form."
