There are two entries for Gilling [East] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE6176/gilling-east/] [accessed 11 November 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or font in it. The font actually in use in this church [cf. Index entries for Gilling East Nos. 1-2 for two earlier fonts] appears Victorian, probably of the mid 19th century; it consists of ain octagonal basin with plain vertical sides, the sides of the underbowl chamfer decorated with a floral motif at the angles; graded moulding forms the capitals and bases of the outer colonnettes of the base, eight around a central shaft; octagonal lower base and octagonal plinth.
