There is an entry for Middleton [Tyas] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/NZ2205/middleton-tyas/] [accessed 19 November 2019] but it mentions neithyer cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 1, 1914) notes: "church of St. Michael [...] was given by Ughtred son of Ulf to the abbey of St. Mary at York, and was confirmed to the abbey by Henry II [r. 1154-1189] [...] the earliest condition of the building is suggested by the north-east quoin of the nave, which is probably that of an aisleless nave of the beginning of the 12th century. [...] In modern times (1868) the chancel was practically rebuilt and lengthened and a north vestry added, the chancel arch heightened and a south porch built to the nave; much of the window tracery is also new. [...] The octagonal font is modern, of 13th-century style." The baptismal font probably dates from the 19th-century restoration of the church; it consists of a a plain octagonal basin of tapering sides, raised on a base made of a central pillar and eight attached colonnettes with moulded capitals and bases; the inner well of the basin is round, lead-lined and has a central drain hole; narrow octagonal lower base; wooden font cover, flat and plain, modern; the octagonal plinth may be from an earlier font [NB: the church is medieval but we have no information on the earlier font[s]].
