Swathing / Suatinga

There is an entry for Swathing [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TF9804/swathing/] [accessed 25 March 2014], but it mentions neither church nor cleric in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "At the time of the Conqueror's survey adjoining to Cranworth was a town called Swathing, a town many centuries past destroyed and depopulated; and the lands belonging to it now included in the townships of Craneworth, and Letton; that it was a considerable village appears from the following account of it in Domesday Book, when it belonged to the King, and was farmed of him, or taken care of by Godric. Hacon a freeman being deprived of it, which Hacon was grandson of Earl Godwin, and son of Swain, brother to King Harold [...] Of the church of Swathing, I find no memorial, being delapidated many centuries past". Armstron (1781), too, writes of Swathing as "a considerable lordship", with a beruite in the Hundred of Forehoe.
