There is an entry for [North] Frodingham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TA0953/north-frodingham/] [accessed 4 November 2019]; it reports a priest and a church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York East Riding, vol. 7, 2002) notes: "A church and a priest were recorded at North Frodingham in 1086. [...] In 1115 Stephen, count of Aumale, gave it to Aumale priory, later abbey (Seine Maritime). [...] The church was dedicated to ST. HELEN in 1519 and 1545 [...] The chancel and nave may have been 12th-century in origin. [...] The church contains part of a 10th-century cross, the 'most decorative and stylish . . . in the East Riding', (fn. 157) a fragment of a 14th-century cross depicting Atlas, and a 16th-century parish chest"; it mentions no font in it. [NB: the VCH entry (ibid.) notes that the dedication to St. Elgin arose from a chronicler's error]. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TA0897953416] notes: "Church. C15 west tower, belfry added 1892 by Temple Moore, nave and chancel 1878 by H Roumieau Gough. [...] C10 cross fragment and undated carving of Atlas at west end of north aisle"; no font mentioned in it.
