There are three entries for 'Whitlingham' in Domesday [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG2707/whitlingham/] [accessed 12 May 2013] but none of them mentions a church in it. White's Directory of 1845 notes: "The Church (St. Andrew,) was dilapidated about 1630, and now forms a picturesque ruin, near the verge of a lofty precipice, overlooking the river." [NB: the church fabric may go back to Norman times, but we have no information on the font(s) of this medieval church]
