There are two entries [one is multiple-place] for [Kirk and North] Deighton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/XX0000/kirk-and-north-deighton/] [accessed 28 November 2019], one of which reports a church in it. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE3988250527] notes: "Church. Early-mid C15 with C12 remains and restorations in 1849 and 1875, by W Perkin and Son for Rev J W Geldart [...] the font is 1874." The present baptismal font consists of an octagonal basin with rounded lower sides deeply carved with shields, foliage, etc.; pedestal base; flat wooden cover, modern, probably 19th-century as well, decorated with metal reinforcements. There is no mention of a font in Glynne's notes of his 13 May 1862 visit (in Butler, 2007). [NB: we have no information on the earlier font here].
