No individual entry in the Domesday survey for Nether Silton [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE4592/nether-silton/] [accessed 28 November 2019]. The entry for the parish of Leake in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 1, 1914) notes: "The chapel of ease at NETHER SILTON, as appears from an inscription on the west wall, was entirely rebuilt in 1812 [...] Old materials appear to have been largely used in the rebuilding. The fittings include an ancient oak communion table, an old chair with a carved and panelled back and a stone font. The latter dates from the 12th century and has a massive circular bowl tapering towards the base and ornamented with a bold cable moulding below the rim."
