No individual entry found for Dalton-la-Dale in the Domesday survey. Mackenzie (1834) writes: "The fons is a circular stone basin, resting on a plain round pillar; the rim ornamented with quatrefoils." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Decorated period. Pevsner (1983), however, notes: "Twins at Seaham and Dalton-le-Dale look more C17 than medieval", and describes the font as: "round stem and cup-shaped bowl with a band of four-petalled flowers round the top (cf. Seaham)." The entry for this church in Histocir England [Listing NGR: NZ4079748034] notes: "Church. Romanesque with mainly C13 features. Extensive restoration by C. Hodgson Fowler in 1907 [...] Late medieval round font with floral border on replaced stem."
