There are two entries -one of them multiple-place- for this Barningham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/NZ0810/barningham/] [accessed 8 November 2019] one of which reports two churches in it. The entry for this parish in The Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 1, 1914) notes; "In 1213 Hugh Bardolf claimed the advowson of Barningham Church against the Prior of Malton [...] The [present] building is entirely modern [...] The font is of marble and quite modern, the only ancient fitting in the church being the scalloped capital of a 12th century pillar piscina, set in the chancel." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: NZ0853110448] notes; "Parish Church. 1816 on medieval site, remodelled 1891 [...] Re-set C12 pillar piscina from previous church"; no font mentioned.
