There is an entry for Skendleby [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF4371/skendleby/] [accessed 7 January 2019] and it reports a church in it. Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989) note: "Font. Octagonal. Panelled stem, moulded bowl on big heads and with a top band of fleurons and small heads." The entry for this church in Histocric England [Listing NGR: TF4326769790] notes: "Parish church. C13, C14, restored 1875 by Sir G. G. Scott. [...] C15 ashlar font, the pedestal decorated with blind perpendicular tracery, the octagonal bowl with 8 carved heads separated by small buttresses and topped with a frieze of fleuron and carved heads."
