There is a multiple-place entry for Cundall [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE4272/cundall/] [accessed 26 November 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish [Cundall with Leckby] in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 1, 1914) notes: "The church of Cundall was among the gifts made by Roger de Mowbray [1254-1297] to the Priory of Newburgh at its foundation. [...] The [present] building dates from 1852, when it was re-erected in place of what Whitaker in 1823 describes as a mean and diminutive building with a single aisle and a modern brick tower." There is no mention of font in the VCH entry. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE 42288 73099] mentions no font in it. The present font is an octagonal goblet-shaped monolithic vessel probably dating from the 1854 rebuilding of the old church; sides decorated with trefoil tracery; the tapering lower side with three parallel mouldings. Octagonal wooden cover, flat and plain, with metal handle; probably of the same date. Narrow octagonal plinth with kneeling stone. [NB: we have no information on the original font of this church].
