Font Notes:
There is an entry for Newton [upon Ouse] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE5159/newton-upon-ouse/] [accessed 6 August 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Bulmer's Directory... (1890) notes: "The church (St. Mary, but originally dedicated to All Saints) is a neat Gothic structure, rebuilt, with the exception of the lower part of the tower, which belongs to the Norman period, in 1849 [...] The font is octagonal and finely carved", but no indication of the date given. Not in Pevsner (1985). The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 2, 1923) notes: "The church of ALL SAINTS was, with the exception of the tower, rebuilt in 1839 [...] and again [...] ten years later (1849). The base of the tower is of the 12th century, but the rest of the building, consisting of an aisled nave of four bays, chancel and spire, is modern"; no font mentioned. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE5109459935] notes: "Church. Early C12, 1849. [...] tower arch, early C12"; no font mentioned.
