There are yow entries for Guggate [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SE8855/huggate/] [accessed 30 July 2014], but neither reports a church or cleric in it. Bulmer's History and Directory of East Yorkshire (1892) reports: "The ancient octagonal font is still in use." It is listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. English Heritage [Listing NGR: SE8822855510] (1967) notes: "Church. C12 nave and aisles, C13 chancel, early C14 west tower with recessed spire, C19 south porch and south vestry. [...] C15 octagonal font with bases to colonnettes, now removed, to diagonal sides, set on square plinth with cusped, pierced panels." The font has an awkward look now, rather like the base of a pillar, with a basin that is octagonal at top but becomes square lower down, and is raised on a square base that is wider than the basin, a band of stone throughwork with three angular quatrefoil windows on each side sandwiched between two angular mouldings. The design is somewhat reminiscent of the Perpendicular font at Crowland (Lincolnshire) and, perhaps, the 13th-century font at Barnack (Cambridgeshire). The font stands on an octagonal plinth.
