Scene Description: Source caption: "St Lawrence's Church, Sigglesthorne. The tower of this Grade II listed building was constructed during the thirteenth century. As building stone is not available in the local area, the walls are mostly composed of large beach stones from the nearby coastline. Several other old churches in the area used the same technique."

There is an entry for Sigglesthorne [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TA1545/sigglesthorne/] [accessed 7 November 2019]; it reports a priest and a church in it. Moule (1837) reported a disused font: "the ancient font is placed on the southern side of the chancel as a receptacle for the water from the roof". The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York East Riding, vol. 7, 2002) notes: "There was a church at Sigglesthorne in 1086 [...] Much of the fabric dates from the 13th century [...] The registers of baptisms, marriages, and burials begin in 1562 and are complete"; no mention of a font in it.

Early C13 west tower (restored 1616, 1763), C13 north and south nave arcades, north aisle and chancel of 1827. Restored by Pearson 1848"; no font mentioned in it either.
