There are three entries for this Bullington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TF0977/bullington/] [accessed 4 September 2018], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for the old priory in the Victoria County History (Lincoln, vol. 2, 1906) notes; "The Gilbertine priory of St. Mary, Bullington, was founded as a double house between 1148 and 1154 by Simon, son of William de Kyme [...] like the other Gilbertine houses, never recovered from the effects of the Black Death. [...] The house was surrendered on 26 September, 1538, by the prior and nine canons". The original 12th-century priory church became parish church after the Dissolution; it was dedicated to St. James; it was in ruins already by the 1840s. [NB: we have no information on the font from that church].
