Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Norman period here. Bond (1908) reports a baptismal font with the "shape of an inverted bucket" at Smeaton, Yorkshire. Noted in Morris (1932): "Large, circular Trans[itional] font, with intersecting arcade." In Pevsner (1986 c1967): "Font. Norman, cylindrical, with intersected arches." The Parish of St. Peter's web site [www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/stpeter/index.htm] includes 'A history of St. Peter's Church, Kirk Smeaton' by Harry Robinson [s.d.], with a note on the font and an illustration: "The font is a good example of the large cylindrical 12th century fonts, with arcades cut upon it. The top is recent work. The lid was made in 1926 by Mr Ernest Trippett, in oak, and the ironwork, with a brass cross was made by Mr. J.E. Cunnington." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE5201116638] notes: "Church. C12, C13, C14 and C15, heavily restored in 1864. [...] Norman tub font decorated with intersecting arches on cylindrical shaft." Noted in Harman & Pevsner (2017) as a Norman font decorated with intersecting arches. The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2018) reports a "12thc chancel arch of about 1160, also a font which is probably a little earlier".
