No individual entry found for Cawood in the Domesday survey. Glynne's 26 March 1825 church visit entry notes (in Butler, 2007) read: "The font is octagon and plain; and there is a small square basin supported on a shaft, and adorned with toothed moulding, which seems also to have been a font." Morris (1932) has: Octagonal font, probably Perp[endicular]." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE5777937798] notes: "Church. C12-C15 with C19 and C20 rebuilding and restoration" but mentions no font in it. The Canwood Parish site notes: "The earliest part of the present building dates from around 1150 but an earlier building seems almost certain. [...] It is not until 1294 that there is definite reference to this church despite the fact that Cawood was one of the homes of the Archbishops of York for seven centuries from 937 AD. It is likely that the church was used as a chapel by the Castle up to 1271 when a chapel at the Castle is mentioned"; a font is mentioned twice in this source but no details are given. No font mentioned in the entry for this church in Harman & Pevsner (2017).
