Font Notes:
No individual entry for Sculcoates found in the Domesday survey. The entry for this church in the Victoria County History (York East Riding, City of Hull, vol. 1, 1969) notes: "A church at Sculcoates is first mentioned in 1232 [...] A drawing of c. 1725 shows the medieval church of ST. MARY to have consisted of a small nave, a chancel, and a turret for a bell. [...] The church was out of repair in 1743, [...] and in 1759 it was decided to rebuild it. A faculty was obtained, [...] and also a brief [...] to which the parish contributed £14 9s. [...] The church was built but remained unfurnished for three years. It was a sober version of rococo Gothic, but in its essentials the building was Classical, with Tuscan columns, rusticated quoins, and flat ceilings. Considerable alterations were made to this church between 1827 and 1830, and again in 1861–3 [...] The old parish church of St. Mary, closed in 1869, was reopened in 1873 when a District Chapelry was assigned to it. [...] The Vicar of Sculcoates is the patron. The old church was later demolished and a new one, in Sculcoates Lane, designed by T. L. Moore, [...] was consecrated in 1916"; no font mentioned. The entry for this church in Historic England [https://historicengland.org.uk/services-skills/grants/visit/st-mary-sculcoates-lane-hu5-1dp/] [accessed 18 October 2019] notes: "Parish church 1916-1920 by Temple Moor, incorporating columns from a church of c1760 (closed in 1915). Furnishings in St Patrick's chapel carved by 'the Mouseman' Thompson of Kilburn."
