There are two entries for Spridlington [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF0084/spridlington/] [accessed 7 January 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Taxatio of 1291-1292 list of benefices in Lincolnshire [www.dhi.ac.uk/taxatio/search?form=county&county=LIN] includes both St Albinus [ref.: LI.SW.AS.17 @ £ 10. 0s. 0d. 15m.] and St Hilary [ref.: LI.SW.AS.18 @ £ 10. 0s. 0d. 15m.] Pounds (2000) mentions Spridlington as an example of a parochial merger of the kind that involved the suppression of one of the two churches in the village: "In 1416/17 Spridlington St Albinus was merged with Spridlington St Hilary. The priory of Bullington, to which St Albinus was appropriated, was relieved of its obligations, and the church itself must soon have become ruinous." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF0079684535] notes: "Parish church. 1875 by James Fowler of Louth. [...] The octagonal font has quatrefoils and triangles in the upper panels; the wooden lid has elaborate wrought iron mountings."
