There is a multiple-place entry that includes Beverley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TA0339/beverley/] [accessed 11 October 2019] but it mentiones neither cleric nor church in it. An interesting example of an unfinished font, probably made to fit against a corner or a pillar; in this case those who commissioned the font intended to save every farthing, and the artisan did not even bother to achieve an even finish to the back. The font consists of an octagonal basin decorated with a running inscription in Gothic lettering around the upper side of the panels; below it the panels are decorated with chiefly trefoil tracery, and the underbowl chamfer shows similar decoration; the short stem of the base, terminated in mouldings at top and bottom, is decorated with an assortment of quatrefoil panels, some with rosettes inscribed; the lower base splays gradually out. The whole is raised on an octagonal plinth. Wooden cover, round and flat, perhaps from the 1880s when the font was installed in the new church. A brass plate in the new Parish Church of St. Nicholas reads: "This font, a relic of the ancient Parish Church of St. Nicholas which stood near this place till about the year 1677 A.D., was presented to the New Church by Robert Stephenson to whose memory this tablet is inscribed A.D. 1883" [We are grateful to Colin Hinson, of www.yorkshireCDbooks.co.uk, for the photographs of church and font]
