There is an entry for Sinnington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE7485/sinnington/] [accessed 25 September 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Morris (1931) writes: "Stoup inside W. door." [NB: according to Morris (ibid.) the church goes back to the late 11th or early 12th century]. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 2, 1923) notes: "The walls of the present building are substantially of early 12th-century date and the church has never been enlarged. The south door is late Norman, the porch being a little later, and several 17th-century windows have been inserted in the walls. The church was thoroughly restored in 1904, when the north vestry was added and the chancel arch reconstructed. [...] Within the [south] door is a small stoup." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE7463886062] notes: "Church. C12 nave and chancel, restored; some C17 windows; vestry and bellcote of 1904, and chancel arch rebuilt. Restoration, rebuilding and additions by C Hodgson Fowler"; neither font nor stoup mentioned in it. The present font, located at the west end of the nave, by the blocked west entranceway, is modern.
