No individual entry for Stannington found in the Domesday survey. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: NZ2098879421] notes: "Church. 1871 by R.J. Johnson of Newcastle, incorporating C13 north arcade of medieval church. [...] Re-set in floor under tower 10 medieval cross-slab grave covers including two with unusual Celtic-style crosses, and late medieval limestone slab with marginal inscription. Also in tower stone with small dancing figure above skull and cable-moulded edges, possibly Pre-Christian"; no font mentioned in it. The present font is a modern one, probably of the 1871 building of the new church, with a rounded basin with eight small protruding round capitals at the upper rim. The wooden cover is round and flat, with metal decoration, probably 19th-century as well. [NB: the original church was built in the 12th century, but was replaced by a new building in 1871 -- we have no information on the original font of the Norman church]
