There is an entry for Aysgarth [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE0088/aysgarth/] [accessed 19 November 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 1, 1914) notes: "The church of Aysgarth was held with the manor by the Burgh family until 1222 [...] With the exception of the west tower, the whole structure was rebuilt in 1866, some details from the former building being re-used [...] The font is modern." There is a note of interest, and perhaps relevance to the old font at Aysgarth in Sheahan & Whellan (1857); after a description of the Church of St. Andrew, they remark: ''There is […] in this locality the site of an ancient Chapel and burial ground, called Chapel House. On the site, which is now occupied by modern cottages, an ancient font was found, which is now in the possession of Mr. Ralph Dobson, of Leyburn'' [cf. Index entry for Aysgarth No. 2 for the later font in Aysgarth]
