There is a multiple-place entry for Thirkleby [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE4778/thirkleby/] [accessed 6 December 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 2, 1923) notes: "The church of Thirkleby, which in 1145 was granted by Roger de Mowbray to the priory of Newburgh, was only a chapel dependent on the church of Coxwold [...] The present building [...] was erected in 1851 [...] The building which it replaces was built in 1722"; no font mentioned in it. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE4731178732] lists the mid-19th century church with a contemporary font in it, without any refernce to the medieval church here. The baptismal font at All Saints' may date from either the 1722 or the 1850 rebuilding of this church, perhaps the latter; it appears monolithic and of an ungainly octagonal shape; the basin has curving buttress-like angle mouldings, whereas the sides of the octagon are deeply-set and decorated with tracery; the inner well of the basin is lead-lined and has central drain hole; the base is octagonal and decorated with deeply carved trefoil arches or niches; octagonal plinth; flat wooden cover with metal decoration and ring-handle. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original church].
