There is an entry for Sherburn [in Elmet] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE4833/sherburn-in-elmet/] [accessed 21 November 2018]; it reports two priest and two churches in it. Glynne's May 1862 visit to this church, in Butler (2007) reports: "The font is new: an octagonal bowl on a stem." The modern font consists of an octagonal basin with quatrefoiled panels on the sides; one of the panels has the IHS emblem in a traceried frame, but others are simply blank quatrefoils; heavily moulded underbowl chamfer; on a pedestal base with an arcade of eight pointed arches on columns with moulded capitals and bases. [NB: the older parts of the surviving building are said to be Anglo-Saxon, and there were two churches here at the time of the Domesday survey, but we have no information on either of the fonts].
