The Victoria County History (North York Riding, vol. 2, 1923) notes: "The church of St. Peter [...], Thornaby, is of late 12th-century date, and consisted originally of a chancel and aisleless nave, but the chancel has disappeared, probably in the 18th century, and the chancel arch has been built up. [...] Some of the stones in the walls bear traces of having been reworked and two may be of preConquest date. [...] One of these near the south-east corner outside has carved ornament and the other bears the fragment of a runic inscription. [...] The building was restored in 1908 [...] The font is a plain circular stone bowl and may be ancient." The baptismal font at the Mission church of St. Luke consists of an octagonal basin with chamfered rim, one of the sides bearing the 'IHS' monogram; moulded underbowl chamfer and pedestal base, also octagonal and moulded. The font appears to date from the building of the church, 1887-1888, according to Bulmer's Directory of 1890 [cited in http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/NRY/Thornabyontees/Thornabyontees90.html [accessed 17 April 2009]].
