Long Riston / Ristun / Ristuna

There are two entries for [Long] Riston [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TA1242/long-riston/] [accessed 6 November 2019], the first of which, a multiple-place entry, reports a priest and a church in it; this church may have been the one at Hornsea, one of the places mentioned. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York East Riding, vol. 7, 2002) notes: "A church was built at Long Riston by Alan de Scures, and c. 1170 his son William acknowledged it to be subordinate to the church at Hornsea [...] The church of ST. MARGARET, so called in 1434 [...] The thick walls and the proportions of the nave suggest the church's 12th-century origin, although both surviving doorways are of the 14th century [...] The tower was added in the 14th century"; no font mentioned. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TA1233042725] notes: "Church. C13 origins with C14 tower, C17 buttresses to south side, nave and chancel heavily restored in 1855, tower repaired in 1881. [...] C19 octagonal font with traceried decoration on octagonal shaft." The present font is modern; it consists of an octagonal basin with vertical sides ornamented with tracery: a wide cinquefoil arch or window on each face, with a triquetra in each of the spandrels; the underbowl has a graded chamfer; the pedestal base has a plain stem with vertical sides and a moulded lower base, both octagonal, as are the plinth and the flat wooden cover. The well of the basin is lead-lined, with a central drain. The upper rim of the basin shows the metal staples of an older cover. [NB: we have no information on the font of the 12th-century church here].
