There are fours entries for this Kirk [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TA0229/kirk-ella/] [accessed 31 July 2014]; the part in the lordship and chief tenancy of Gilbert Tison reports a priest and a church in it. A font here is noted in Glynne's February 1865 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007): "The font [is] a new one, but said to reproduce the old one, having a plain octagonal bowl and fluted stem." English Heritage [Listing NGR: TA0202729726] (1967) notes: "Dodecagonal font, of plain design with a dogtooth band, of c1860." [NB: the church had traces of the Norman, Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular periods, but we do not have any other information on the earlier font(s) of this church -- the last one (?) would have been replaced in the 1859-1860 restoration, just before Glynne's visit].
