There are two entries for Nocton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF0664/nocton/] [accessed 1 May 2019] one of which reports a priest and a church in it. The entry for this Augustinian priory in the Victoria County History (Lincoln, vol. 2, 1906) notes: "The priory of Nocton Park was founded by Robert Darcy in honour of St. Mary Magdalene, probably during the reign of Stephen [r. 1135-1154] [...] The last prior, Thomas Hornell, [..] had to give up his house before Michaelmas, 1536".
