There is an entry for Tankersley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK3499/tankersley/] [accessed 27 November 2018]; it reports a priest and a church in it. Glynne's 10 December 1852 visit to this church (in Butler, 2997) reports: "The font is octagonal and plain." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK3495099586] notes: "Church. C14 and C15, north aisle wall rebuilt 1881"; it mentions no font in it but adds, "C19 roofs and fittings." The octagonal basin with moulded sides may be of the present church period, but the base and the cover appear modern.
