The entry for Easingwold in the Domesday reports a church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 2, 1923) notes: "There was a church with a priest at Easingwold at the time of the Domesday Survey [...] The north door is evidence of the existence of a church here in the 13th century, but it is not now in situ, and with the possible exception of the west end the church appears to have been completely rebuilt in the 15th century. [...] The font has an octagonal bowl, recut, and a circular moulded stem, and probably dates from the 13th century." Baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin of plain vertical sides, the underbowl conical and plain but for a moulding at either end; the lower base is cylindrical; raised on a polygonal plinth. The wooden font cover consists of a flat octagonal platform on which stand four ribs around a central pivot and a dove finial.
