No individual entry for Kirkthorpe found in the Domesday survey. Morris (1932) notes: "Perp[endicular] font." Pevsner (1986 c1967), however, writes: "A perfectly plain octagonal, cup-shaped font, dated 1718." The entry for this church in Historic England [Church. C14 tower, body of church rebuilt c1875, tower parapet renewed c1904.] notes: "Church. C14 tower, body of church rebuilt c1875, tower parapet renewed c1904. [...] Octagonal cup-shaped font dated 1718." Ryder (1993) writes of 12th-century details and of typically Norman masonry, but there is no medieval font in this church. Harman & Pevsner (2017) note a plain octagonal cup-shaped font of 1718.
