There is an entry for Aysgarth [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE0088/aysgarth/] [accessed 19 November 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Glynne's visit of probably 1842 (in Butler, 2007) notes: "The font is modern." Pevsner (1985) notes: "Font. On three child angels. High Victorian." The Font consists of an octagonal basin raised of three standing praying child-angels, a round lower base with an inscription, and a plain round plinth. Wooden font in the Jacobean style, consisting of an octagonal lower volume with vertical sides, molded and carved, and a domed upper volume with a long knob finial; the cover is raised by way of a counterweight mechanism. There is also a cylindrical vessel, font or holy-water stoup along the north wall of the nave, but it is probably of a late date as well [NB: the original church was built in the 14th century and later enlarged and renovated in the 16th; the current font must date from the 1866 restoration]. [cf. Index entry for Aysgarth No. 1 for a posible earlier font from this site]
