There are two entries for the Walcot / Walcott near Billinghay [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TF1356/walcot/] [accessed 7 May 2019], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TF1309656596] covers only the 1852 church and mentions an "ashlar octagonal bowl and stem font" in it, but the entry in Historic England PastScape [www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=351220] [accessed 7 May 2019] refers to its predecessor: "Site of a Medieval chapel given by King John to Spalding Abbey, pulled down in 1790.
