There are two entries for this Lillington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP3367/lillington/] [accessed 3 February 2015], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 6, 1951) notes: "The chapel of Lillington was given to Kenilworth Priory with its mother church of Leek Wootton when the priory was founded by Geoffrey de Clinton in 1121. [...] The only medieval part of the chancel is the south wall, of red sandstone, in which there is a blocked priest's door, the head being almost semicircular with a slight point in the centre [...] of 14th-century date, and a 15th-century tower. [...] The font, though completely scraped, is of 15thcentury date, octagonal; the basin is panelled with quatrefoils, alternate panels having blank shields, and the stem has trefoiled panels."
