There is an entry for Stokesley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/NZ5208/stokesley/] [accessed 19 December 2019]; it reports a priest and a church in it. There is no mention of any font in Glynne's August 1827 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007). Whelann (1859) report ''a modern vase-shaped font'' in front of the chancel arch, ''whilst, at the west end of the church is an ancient massive font''. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (North Riding, vol. 2, 1923) notes: ''There was a church with a priest at Stokesley at the time of the Domesday Survey [...] The only ancient work remaining is in the chancel and tower, which are apparently of 15th-century date [...] The font dates from 1875", and does not mention the older font.
