There is an entry for Felixkirk in the Domesday Survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE4684/felixkirk/] [accessed 29 June 2017] but it mentions neither priest nor church int. A description in The Hillside Villages North Yorkshire [www.thirsk.org.uk/felixkirk/stfelix1.html] signed "A.J.N." reads: "Entering through the modern porch one can see the basin of an early font which is believed to come from a long-disappeared church in the neighbouring village of Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe. The font in the church is modern." Pevsner (1985) mentions neither.
