There is an entry for [Kirk]burton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE1912/kirkburton/] [accessed 30 October 2018]; it reports three priests and two churches in it. Mee (1941) writes: "The old font has an extraordinarily tiny stem for its great bowl, and its unusual modern cover is a canopy sheltering Our Lord in golden robes, a child on his knee." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE1979612498] notes: "Church. Circa 1200 nave, chancel and south aisle. Perpendicular west tower, though upper part said to be C19. North aisle rebuilt 1825, and clerestorey and south porch probably of similar date. [...] 8-sided Tulip font with elaborate cover designed by Sir Charles Nicholson c.1930."
