Elvington / Alvvintone

There is an entry for Elvington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE7047/elvington/] [accessed 21 October 2019]; it reports a church in it. Glynne's 14 March 1825 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports a font "whish is plain, but good and antique"; Butler (ibid.) complements the information in a footnote: "The Early English font still remains." The entry for this parish in Bulmer's Directory of East Yorkshire for 1892 actually describes the modern font: "font is modern, of rough hewn stone, with circular cap and octagonal base" and it does not mention the medieval one one, at the time presumably in the churchyard. Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York East Riding, vol. 3, 1976) notes: "here was a church at Elvington in 1086. [...] Little is known of the medieval church of HOLY TRINITY. It was out of repair in 1663 [...] and 1744 [...] and was entirely rebuilt, largely at the rector's expense, in 1803 [...] The church was repaired in 1849 [...] and 1868 [...] before being rebuilt on a site a little to the south in 1876- 7. [...] A round Norman font with a scalloped base remains in the church and in the churchyard is a font dated 1685." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE7011447472] notes: "Church. 1877, by William"; no font mentioned". The Elvington History page [http://elvingtonhistory.org.uk/index.html] [accessed 21 October 2019] notes: "The only ancient relic is the Norman font, massive and crude."
