There are two entries for this Hornby [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SD5868/hornby/] [accessed 25 February 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Lancaster, vol. 8, 1914) notes on St. Margaret's church: "No part is older than the 16th century, the tower having been built in 1514. by Sir Edward Stanley Lord Mounteagle, and the chancel being also his work, but uncompleted at the time of his death in 1524. The rest of the building is modern. The older nave, to which Lord Mounteagle built his tower and chancel, was pulled down and a new nave without aisles erected in 1817 under one wide spanned roof. This was again reconstructed in 1889, when the ceiling and a west gallery were removed, north and south arcades erected, a clearstory added ranging with that of Lord Mounteagle's chancel, and the old square pews which filled the church replaced by modern seating […] On the south side of the churchyard is the pyramidal base of a pre-Conquest cross […] The fittings, including the font and pulpit, are all modern". The entry for this church in English Heritage [Listing NGR: SD5851168581] notes: "Church, with tower built in 1514 by Sir Edward Stanley Lord Monteagle, chancel incomplete at his death in 1524, nave rebuilt 1817, and arcades and clerestorey added 1889", but mentions no font in it. [NB: we have no information on the earlier fonts of the original or the later churches]
