There is an entry for Ellingham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU1408/ellingham/] [accessed 17 September 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The church of Ellingham, in one charter described as the church of St. Mary, [...] and in another as the church of All Saints with the chapel of St. Mary, [...] formed part of the grant of William de Solers to Ellingham Priory [W. de Solers was born ca. 1184] [...] The whole building appears to have been built in the late 13th century [...] The font is octagonal, probably of the 15th century, but the base on which it stands is of Purbeck marble, and may have formed part of an earlier font." [NB: the lower base may be part of the 13th-century font; we have no information on the rest of it].
