York No. 17 / Eboracum / Eburacum / Eburākon / Eoforwic / Everwic / Jórvík

There are twelve entries for York in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE6052/york/] [accessed 8 August 2019] eight of which mentions a church in it [cf. infra]. Noted in Parker (1847): "The font is Decorated", who also reports the presence of a stoup in the south side of the church, even though the actual south porch was no longer there. The RCHM (York, 1962- ) reports that a font and cover from this church were moved to St. Hilda's, Tang Hall: the font "of limestone, octagonal, with quatrefoils, on cardinal faces, moulded base to bowl, and octagonal shaft with moulded and battlement cap and moulded base, c. 1850." The font cover, which is illustrated in the RCHM (ibid.), "of oak, 1638, when 'made anew', much restored". [NB: Tang Hall is a southern suburb of York, just west of Osbaldwick]. [NB: the base of the tower is said to date from the the 12th century, but we have no information on a font of that date in this church. The Church closed in 1934 and became the Institute of Architecture, later part of the University of York. Later still the edifice became a tavern]
