There are three entries for [South] Willingham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF1983/south-willingham/] [accessed 7 January 2019] none of which mention cleric or church in it. Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989) write: "Font. Square with chamfered angles, on nine shafts with fillets. On the bowl two quatrefoils on each side. (A panel with three such quatrefoils is in the chancel N wall)." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF1950083331] notes: "Parish church. Late C13, mid C14, C16, 1838.
