Forcett / Forsate / Forset

There is a multiple-place entry for Forcett [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/NZ1712/forcett/] [accesed 8 November 2019]; it includes two churches. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 1, 1914) notes: "The church of ST. CUTHBERT was practically rebuilt in 1859 and consists of chancel with south vestry, nave with north aisle, south porch and west tower. A good deal of old work is re-used in the tower and elsewhere, but the building as a whole has little historical interest. A number of early carved stones and architectural details have been built into the south porch. Its outer and inner doorways are both of 12th-century date, the former c. 1180, with foliate capitals and engaged shafts, the latter c. 1130 [...] The font, of 15th-century style, is modern". The present baptismal font in this church is a modern, probably from the mid-19th century Victorian renovation of the interior of this church; it is a plain octagonal basin raised on a central shaft and four attached colonnettes with moulded capitals and bases [source: This is the North East, Communigate www.communigate.co.uk]. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: NZ1755612246] mentions no font in it. [NB: we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church which dates back to Norman times]
