There is an entry for this Dalton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/NZ1108/dalton/] [accessed 5 November 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Norman period in the town of Dalton, East Riding of Yorkshire. It is unclear whether or not this is the same Dalton now in the North Riding of Yorkshire, but its font does not look Norman at all: the present font at Dalton St. James is a modern.
