There is an entry for Mappletone [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TA2243/mappleton/] [accessed 24 September 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Glynne visited this church on 26 July 1867 (in Butler, 2007): "The font has an octagonal bowl, with small battlement along the top, and each face has a quatrefoil containing heraldic shields". The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York East Riding, vol. 7, 2002) notes: "In 1115 Mappleton church was given, with others in Holderness, to Aumale priory, later abbey (Seine Maritime). [...] The church contains an octagonal font of the 14th or 15th century bearing coats of arms" [footnoted to "YAJ, xxvii. 237"]. The entry for this church in Britain Express [www.britainexpress.com/attractions.htm?attraction=4640] [accessed 24 September 2019] notes: "Near the entrance is an octagonal 15th-century font bearing the arms of the St Quintin and Fitzhugh families."
