There is an entry for Appleton [Wiske] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/NZ3804/appleton-wiske/] [accessed 28 May 2015], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 2, 1923) notes: "The church was a chapel of Great Smeaton [...] served by a perpetual curate [...] There is a turret containing one bell over the west gable. The chancel arch is of 12th-century date, and a great portion of the north and south walls may belong to the same period, but the building has been so much altered from time to time that the actual extent of the early masonry is difficult to determine. The width and beauty of the chancel arch, however, point to a church of some size and importance in the 12th century. [...] The interior of the nave is without interest and all the fittings are modern. The pulpit is of stone and the font of plaster."
