There are four entries for Alvingham [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF3691/alvingham/] [accessed 6 May 2019] none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for this priory in the Victoria County History (Lincoln, vol. 2, 1906) notes: "The Gilbertine priory of St. Mary, Alvingham, was founded as a double house between 1148 and 1154, possibly by Hugh de Scotney or one of his tenants. [...] The house was surrendered on 29 September, 1538, by the prior and seven canons." [NB: the present church of St. Mary may have originally been a chapel in the domain of this priory].
