No individual entry found for this Malton in the Domesday survey. Glynne's 11 August 1827 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font, circular and plain, of Norman work." Listed as Norman in Simpson (1828). Described in Bulmer's Directory... (1890): "The font is Norman and massive". Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. Home (1908) notes a Norman font in this church. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 1, 1914) notes: "The earliest portion of the building is the 12th century north arcade of the nave. The arcade which separates the chancel from the north chapel appears to be slightly later in date. The tower is of the 15th century, and was formerly surmounted by a stone spire, removed some time in the 19th century, and replaced by a spire of timber and slate [...] At the south-west corner of the nave is a plain tub font, probably of 12th-century date." Tyrrell-Green (1928) lists a tub-shaped baptismal font of the Norman period at Malton. Not in Pevsner (1985). The entry for this church in Historic England [Source ID: 1219477 / English Heritage Legacy ID: 389411] notes: "Parish church, now Roman Catholic church. Late C12 origins with C15 tower and C19 spire (latter rebuilt after 1984), extensive restoration and rebuilding 1907. [...] Plain tub font, probably C12, sited at the west end of the north aisle." [NB: the town is known simply as Malton, or "New Malton" to distinguish it from Old Malton, nearby, to the east]
