There is an entry for Tickton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TA0641/tickton/] [accessed 28 August 2022], but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. The entry for Tickton in Pevsner & Neave (1995) mentions the Victorian font as well as "the circular bowl of a medieval font, possibly NORMAN". The entry for Tickton in the VCH [https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/yorks/east/vol6/pp301-308] [accessed 28 August 2022] nores: "Baptisms, marriages, and burials usually took place in the minster [i.e., Beverley] [...] There was no chapel at Tickton until the 19th century [...] The so-called church of St. Paul, built in 1843-4 [...] in the Perpendicular style, is of ashlar and consists of chancel and nave with north vestry, north porch, and west bellcot. The building was restored in the 1880s and 1890s." The entry for this church in the CRSBI [https://www.crsbi.ac.uk/view-item?i=2576] [accessed 28 August 2022] notes: "Pevsner and Neave say the church has an ‘octagonal font, 1844 and the circular bowl of a medieval font, possibly Norman’ (1995, 726) [...] Font bowl, on its side and leaning against the wall near the lectern. It is plain, weathered and discoloured from being outside; it is without a rebate but has a central drainage hole. The stone seems to be a yellow Jurassic limestone. There is damage at two opposite points on the rim, but it is not clear that these were associated with fastenings. The top view is quite crudely shaped, but the relatively shallow bowl has four stubby feet; a central wider disc could be felt on the bottom, perhaps 0.2m in diameter. These could have been the places for four pillars and a central stem, compare the late twelfth-century fonts at Beverley Minster, Great Driffield and Pocklington. The bowl was identified in the churchyard by K. A. MacMahon and is illustrated in Wright 1980, 8, 18, 25; its provenance is not known."
