Nunkeeling / Chelinge / Chillingbe / Killing

There are two entries for [Nun]Keeling [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TA1450/nunkeeling/] [accessed 5 September 2019] one of which reports a priest, a church and "1.0 church lands" in it. There is no mention of a font here in Mouile (1837). It is noted as "ancient" in Sheahan & Whellan (1857). Described in Bulmer's directory of 1892 notes: "The font is circular and ancient, and rests on four piers." The National Archives holds the parish records of the Church of Hull St. Martin, among which, under reference PE21 is a: "Licence for removal of Norman font from Nunkeeling Church to St Martin's PE21/T58 1939", and a "Form of faculty in unopposed proceedings, removal of font, improvement of electrical lighting, removal of chairs from nave and installation of pews from St Nicholas' Church and installation of pulpit PE21/T65 1968". The Victoria County History (York East Riding, vol. 7, 2002) notes: "Agnes de Arches gave Nunkeeling church c. 1150 to the priory which she then founded there. The priory appropriated the church in 1409 [...] The parish church was evidently dedicated to St.. Mary Magdalene and St. Helen at the foundation of the priory c. 1150 [...] The church was rebuilt in 1810 [...] Some materials from the medieval building were reused, principally the north arcade which was rebuilt as a triple chancel arch. Nunkeeling church ceased to be used in 1928 and fell into disrepair; the walls of the unroofed building were consolidated by the parish council in 1987 [...] In 1992 it was unused [...] The medieval church evidently had a Norman font [...] The font was removed to a Hull church in 1939" [footnoted in the VCH: "B.I.H.R., Fac. Bk. 12, p. 165A."]. {NB: The Anlaby Road History web site [http://www.anlabyroad.com/history/anlaby-road-history-12.html] [accessed 7 November 2010] informs: "St Martin’s Church. The foundation stone of the new church was laid on St Martin’s Day (11th November) 1938 and the completed church was consecrated in 1939.[ ...] it contains a 12th Century font that was rescued from the ruined Benedictine Nunnery at Nunkeeling, and later installed in the local parish church there. When the Nunkeeling church closed in 1939 the font was donated to the new St Martin’s." The entry for the re-built church here in Historic England [Listing NGR: TA1454450150] notes: "Church. Probably founded mid C12; rebuilt 1810 using old materials. Brick with cladding of coursed squared rubble and cobbles. 2-bay nave, one-bay chancel. Nave: 2 pointed windows, the heads turned in brick with small keystones. West door of six raised and fielded panels in round-headed opening also turned in brick. Chancel: east window of three stepped lancets, now in ruins. Interior: triple stepped chancel arch. Pointed chamfered central arch on cylindrical piers flanked by similar, lower, arches on cylindrical responds with moulded abaci. Ruinous at time of re- survey."
