Marrick / Mange / Marrig / Marrik / Marryng

There is an entry for Marrick [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE0798/marrick/] [accessed 5 September 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Bulmer's History and Directory of North Yorkshire (1890) notes that the parish church (St. Andrew) "occupies a portion of the site, and seems also to have served for the conventual chapel as well as the parish church. The old structure having become much dilapidated, the greater part of it was taken down in the early part of this century, and the present small church built on its site, mixed with parts of the old fabric." A footnote in the entry for the Benedictine priory of Marrick in the Victoria County History (York, vol. 3, 1974) notes: "Several deeds speak of the church of St. Mary and St. Andrew, and some of St. Mary alone. It is possible that the uncertain double dedication may have arisen from the nuns' church and the parish church being under the same roof", which may suggest that the conventual and parish church were one and the same, perhaps with different parts of the inner space accommodating both nuns and parishioners. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 1, 1914) notes: "Little now remains of what was once the priory of Benedictine nuns at Marrick. The nave of the church was used for divine service until 1811, when it was pulled down and rebuilt out of the old materials. Only part of the east and south walls of the original quire, 42 ft. east of the present church, and the western tower were left standing [...] The rude octagonal bowl of the font is scalloped on the under side and from each scallop rises a bracket supporting alternate shields and square panels. Its plinth is a fragment of a 13th-century round pier with its complete moulded base." Pevsner (1985) informs that some parts of the old Priory church were used in the construction of St Andrew's in 1811: "Part of another round pier forms the font base." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE0670197782] notes: "Church, now chapel and residential youth centre. C13, nave rebuilt 1811, converted c1970. [...] Font, on Early English column base, has deeply-cusped stem and basin."
