There are two entries for Kirby [Hill] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE3968/kirby-hill/] [accessed 14 September 2018], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The font here is illustrated in Whitaker (1823). Glynne's 21 November 1860 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font has a cylindrical bowl on a round stem." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 1, 1914) notes: "In 1145 Roger de Mowbray granted this church to the priory of Newburgh [...] The nave [...] may date from the latter part of the 11th century, and the west tower before its recent rebuilding (1870) was of little later date. The chancel of this church has been destroyed, except, perhaps, a little of its north wall. A north aisle was added about 1160 [...] The font is a round one of 13th-century date; the bowl has sloping sides and the base a plain mould." The entry for this church in Historic England [List entry Number: 1190293] notes: "Cylindrical font, probably Cll reworked C14, with C18 polygonal cover." The font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin tapering slightly towards the bottom, raised on a cylindrical stem and circular lower base; the whole is raised on a tiled quadrangular plinth. Medium-height pyramidal cover of a later period [cf. supra]
