There is an entry for Haxby [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE6058/haxby/] [accessed 10 December 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 2, 1923) notes: "It is not certain at what date the chapel of Haxby came into existence. [...] In 1328 the inhabitants declared that 'of old it was ordained, and hitherto observed, that the chaplain for the time being which celebrated divine service at Haxby received all the oblations and Quadragesimal tithes as well of the tenants of the prebend of Strensall as of the tenants of the prebend of Driffield.' [...] In the same year they petitioned to have their own chapel yard licensed for burial, on the ground that 'it was cause of scandal and a fact detestable to have the corpses of the dead to be casually lost, as they were carried on the way to be buried, by reason of the very great distance and badness of the ways". [...] The church of ST. MARY was entirely rebuilt in 1878".
