There is an entry for Bollingham in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO3052/bollingham/] [accessed 2 November 2014, but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. An old wall-mounted stoup here is described in the inventory of Herefordshire (1931-1934, vol. III: 52): "Stoup: In nave -- E. of S. doorway, mutilated flat bowl with round basin." The modern font here is 19th-century [NB: the chapel may date to the 12th or 13th century, as may the stoup]
