Font Notes:
There is a multiple-place entry for this Garton in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TA2735/garton/] [accessed 20 July 2014], and it reports a priest and a church in it. A font here is noted in Bulmer's Directory of 1892: "The font is 15th century work, and has been restored". The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York East Riding, vol. 7, 2002) notes: "The church recorded on an estate in Garton and Ringbrough, in Aldbrough, in 1086 [...] was probably at Garton, and a church certainly existed there by 1190"; no font noted. The entry for this church in Historic England [List entry Number: 1215863 ] [Listing NGR: TA2703935454] notes: "Mid C13 octagonal font with 2 trefoil-headed blank openings to each side." Octagonal basin of verttical sides decorated with pairs of trefoiled arches or windows; chamfered underbowl with (floral?) motifs at the angles; slightly concave tapering octagonal stem with a moulding; splaying lower base is also octagonal, as is the plinth on which the font stands. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat; probably of the church and font restoration date, somewhere in the 19th century. [NB: we have no information on the font of the 11th-century church here].
