There is an entry for Woldingham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ3755/woldingham/] [accessed 29 March 2016], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 4, 1912) notes: "No church is mentioned in Woldingham in the Domesday Survey, but a chapel is mentioned in 1295 as appurtenant to Gilbert de Clare's part of Woldingham. [...] The church of ST. AGATHA is the smallest church in the county. It consists of a chancel, nave and western porch, and measures externally without the porch only 30 ft. 3 in. by 20 ft. 2 in. It was in a bad state of repair and was restored and much altered in 1890, when the porch was added"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry. [NB: the font at the replacement church of St. Paul is modern]
