There is an entry for Faceby [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/NZ4903/faceby/] [accessed 20 December 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for the parish of Whorlton in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 2, 1923) notes: "The structure was entirely rebuilt in 1875, but incorporates some fragments of an older church, the 12th-century west doorway having been re-erected on the south side and portions of 12th-century stonework built into the chancel arch. Before 1875 the plan of the building was a plain rectangle with bellcote over the west gable, but, although probably preserving a good deal of its 12th-century walling, it had apparently undergone many changes from time to time [...] The font is apparently made from the base of an octagonal pier, and has a roughly hollowed bowl." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: NZ4955303024] notes: "Parish church. 1874-5 by Falkenbridge, on medieval site [...] Font formed from medieval column with spurred base."
