Egton / Egetune

There is an entry for Egton in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/NZ8006/egton/] [accessed 31 January 2020] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Glynne's July 1857 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font has a carved octagonal bowl, of cup shape diminishing." [NB: Butler (ibid.) footnotes Glynne's entry: "the font recordrd by Glynne is now at Goathland church." There is no baptismal font mentioned in Bulmer's Directory of 1890. Sources on the 18th-century recusant [Catholics refusing to attend Church of England services] troubles of this area relate that "the font was thrown on the hillside, until a kindly person from Goathland took it and placed it in the church there where it is now" [source: 'Hearts of oak: a Study of Recusancy in the Moorlands of North-East Yorkshire: 1569 to 1840", by J.L. O'Connor (p. 15) -- electronic book [original undated; ca. 1974]]. The original font probably dated from the original Norman of the 1349 Gothic church, but the font now [2007] in St. Hilda's is obviously a Victorian version of a medieval type, complete with pink marble columns in the base. Butler (2007) adds in his annotation of Glynne's 1857 visit: "the holy water stoup and the south chancel doorway were transferred to the new church". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: NZ8095105811] referes only to the modern church and reports an "Elaborate font of Caen stone on marble shafts."
