There is an entry for Patrictone [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TA3122/patrington/] [accessed 31 July 2014], but it mentions neither church nor cleric in it. Moule (1837) writes: "the font is circular, with twelve pannels filled with as many rosettes." Noted in Glynne's visit to this church (in Butler, 2007): "The font is near the north-east pier of the tower and an excellent specimen, coeval with the church" [NB: Butler (ibid.) remarks that there is an added note in Glynne that refers to Paley's book; Butler states that Glynne visited this church "before 1842", and Paley's book came out in 1844, which must indicate that Glynne added the reference after 1844]. Paley (1844), who describes this dodecagonal font as "beautiful specimen of Decorated work", identifies the material as Caen stone, and reports a lead lining and drain. Described in Bulmer's county Directory of 1892: "The font, formed out of a solid block of Tadcaster stone, is a 12 sided cylinder, enriched on the outside with traceried arches, divided by crocketed pinnacles, and having triangular crocketed canopies. It has been re-set in its original position in front of the west window." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a 14th-century baptismal font of particular merit. Described and illustrated in Bond (1908) as an unmounted polygonal font of the 14th century, dodecagonal, each side carved as a window niche with foliage decoration, and vegetable motif; the upper end of the basin is badly damaged. It has a negligeable base, dodecagonal as well, and is raised on a round plinth. Noted in Tyrrell-Green (1928) as one of group of 14th-century fonts in the Decorated style ornamented with varied patterns of blind tracery (in this group are: Offley in Herts.; Weobley in Hereford; Goadby Marwood and Noseley in Leics.; Barrowby, Carlton Scroope and Haydor in Lincs.; Northampton St. Peter's; Kiddington, Bloxham and Woodstock in Oxon.;Brailes in Warwick, and Patrington in Yorkshire). [NB: the 19th-century font at Tenbury St. Michael's is said to have been designed after this font (Henry Woodyer, 2002)]. English Heritage [Listing NGR: TA3155122540] (1966) notes: "Parish church. Largely first half of C14, with later C14 - early C15 spire and east window; incorporates reused C12-C13 masonry and north-west pier base. Restorations of 1866 and 1885. Vaulting to west aisle of south
transept inserted in 1888, to nave south aisle in 1900, and to nave north aisle in 1902 [...] Fine C14 limestone ashlar font: 12-sided bowl with blind arcading of richly-crocketed gables on pinnacled buttress shafts and 2-light panels with varied infilling of curvilinear tracery, foliage and animals; short moulded pedestal and stepped base."
