There is an entry for this Easby [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/NZ1800/easby/] [accessed 9 October 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Morris (1931) notes: "Stoup inside the S. door." There is no mention of it in Glynne's visit of 8 July 1866. The stoup is built into the south wall, just east of the south entrance; it is monolithic, the upper part, the basin, is an irregular hexagon, as the outer sides have of the square block have been chamfered; the lower part is square; the well is round.
