There are two entries for Sutton [upon Derwent] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE7047/sutton-upon-derwent/] [accessed 24 October 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. There is no mention of font or stoup in Glynne's 14 March 1825 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007). Bulmer's Directory of 1892 notes: "The ancient holy water font remains in the wall near the doorway". The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York East Riding, vol. 3, 1976) notes: "Sutton church was first mentioned between 1161 and c. 1170 [...] The church of ST. MICHAEL is built of rubble and ashlar and consists of chancel with north vestry and organ chamber, aisled and clerestoried nave with south porch, and west tower. The western end of the chancel may be of the early 12th century and a wide arch in its north side must then have led to a transept or side chapel. [...] The church was said to have been out of repair in 1676 [...] A major restoration took place in 1926-8 [...] There is a fragment of an 11th-century cross shaft, with on one side a representation of the Virgin and Child, and a mutilated carved panel of St. George and the dragon, perhaps of the 14th century [...] The registers of baptisms, marriages, and burials begin in 1593 and are complete."
