There are two entries for Hwnby [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE5489/hawnby/] [accessed 5 September 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York, vol. 2, 1923) notes: "The church was doubtless built in the 12th century, when it appears to have had a western tower and a narrower nave, as well as a small chancel. Probably the building suffered, like others in the neighbourhood, from the incursions of the Scots after Bannockburn and was left a ruin. In the rebuilding, which took place late in the 14th century, only the south walls of the nave and tower, which was not rebuilt, and perhaps part of the west wall of the latter, were retained on their old foundations, while the chancel was entirely reconstructed and the nave widened by moving the north wall outward. The church has continued in its present state since then, apart from the usual restorations, the most important of which was undertaken in 1874. [...] The font is octagonal, and from the staples in its top is apparently old but much recut." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE5365189679] notes: "Church. Probably C12 fabric with C15 insertions and C19 restoration"; no font mentioned.
