There are two entries for Roos [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TA2933/roos/] [accessed 31 July 2014]; each entry reports a priest and a church in it. A font in Roos is noted in Glynne's visit to this church, probably ca. 1842 (in Butler, 2007): "The font [is] a plain octagonal bowl." English Heritage (1966) notes: "Church. C13 or earlier nave, early C14 chancel and 2-storey north vestry.
West tower of 1447, west porch of 1842. Restored 1842 by Cottingham, and again in 1913 by Temple Moore", but mentions no font in it. The Victoria County History (York East Riding, vol. 7, 2002) informs: "There was a church at Roos by 1086", but does not mention a font in it either.
