There is an entry for Horbury [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SE2918/horbury/] [accessed 18 October 2018]; it reports three priests and two churches in it. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE2951918372] mentions no font in it. The present church and its font are modern. Harman & Pevsner (2017) inform that the font here was removed by Carr in his restoration of 1790, and that the font introduced by Carr was itself removed by Canon Sharp's own restoration and replaced with one of "Portland stone with marble columns c. 1864". [NB: we have no information on the font(s) of the medieval church(es) here].
