Scene Description: Source caption: "Church of St. Peter & St. Paul, Burton Pidsea. Records of a church at Burton Pidsea (formerly Burton Gamel) date back to around 1160. The original 12th century building has undergone many alterations including at least one large-scale renovation completed by 1442, when a commission was issued for the re-consecration of the 'newly built' church. Its dedication to St. Peter and St. Paul was recorded in 1542 but it was named in honour of St. Peter alone until at least 1465."

Church Notes: church here documented by ca.1160;
There is an entry for Burton Pidsea [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TA2531/burton-pidsea/] [accessed 20 July 2014], and ir reports two priests, but no mention is made of a church in it. A font here is listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Decorated period [NB: C&H use the form "Barton Pidsea" for this site]. The Victoria County History (York East Riding, vol. 7, 2002) notes: "A church at Burton Pidsea was recorded, as that of Burton Gamel, c. 1160. [...] The church's dedication to S[t]. P[eter and] S[t]. P[aul] was recorded in 1542, [...] but in 1465 and frequently thereafter it was named in honour of S[t]. P[eter] alone. [...] The church has a late-medieval, octagonal font". The font consists of a plain octagonal basin of tall vertical sides, with a long slightly concave chamfered underbowl, also plain, and both of a sigle piece of stone; the lower base is a different block, octagonal-to-square. Lead-lining in the inner basin well with centre drain. Flat wooden cover with finial, modern. Octagonal plinth, modern.
