Church Notes: famous pre-Conquest sundial with inscriptions
No individual entry for this Kirkdale found in the Domesday survey. Cox & Harvey (1907) list an Early English baptismal font here. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 1, 1914) notes: "The date of the original church can be fixed to within a few years of 1060 by the Saxon inscription on the sundial over the south door, which records that Orm, the son of Gamal, bought the minster of St. Gregory, and had it rebuilt in the days of Edward the King and of Tosti the Earl. Of this church the nave yet remains, but of its wrought details only the west doorway and the jambs of the chancel arch have survived. The south doorway, over which is the Saxon inscription, is a 12th-century insertion. [...] The octagonal font has a plain bowl and a moulded octagonal stem and appears to be of 13th-century date." Morris (1931) notes a "Trans[itional] or E[arly] E[nglish] font in this church. Octagonal mounted font with a rounded underbowl; besides the mouldings found at the joining of the underbowl and upper base and a similar one at the upper rim, this font is plain. The plinth has two narrow steps. The wooden cover is modern. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE6768785776] notes: "Church. Nave c.1060; C13 arcade and north wall, raised in C15; late C13 north chapel, now vestry; porch 1800; tower 1827; chancel rebuilt 1881. Restored 1907 - 1909 [...] C13 octagonal font".
