Carlton / Carletun / Carletune / Carlton in Cleveland / Carlton nr. Middlesbough / Karleton in Clyveland

There is a multiple-place entry for this Carlton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/NZ5004/carlton/] [accessed 17 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: "Very little information is forthcoming with regard to the church of Carlton in Cleveland. It is first mentioned in 1483 [...] The [present] church of ST. BOTOLPH [...] was erected in 1896–7 [...] The only relic of antiquity inside the church is a 17th-century oak chest, but in the churchyard on the south side is the base with part of the shaft of a cross. [...] Graves, writing about 1808, describes the old church, which stood on the same site, as 'a small modern-built structure,' [...] and Ord forty years later calls it a 'singular and extraordinary' building, 'the steeple like a Norman tower, the nave and chancel little better than a shepherd's hut. [...] In 1878–9 this building was renovated and north and south transepts added, but it was destroyed by fire in October 1881. From that date till 1896 the building lay in ruins, though occasional services were held within the walls"; no font is mentioned in the VCH entry. The listing in Historic England [Listing NGR: NZ5067404537] covers only the modern church and mentions no font in it.
