There are two entries for this Acklam [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE7861/acklam/] [accessed 17 December 2019] one of which reports a church in it. Sheahan & Whellan (1857) note that the church of St. John the Baptist in Acklam was ''partly rebuilt in 1790'' but has ''an ancient font''. Pevsner & Neave (1995), however, state that this church was built ''in 1794 as a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel'' and that it superseded an Anglican church of 1868 demolished in 1972, without a mention of any earlier church. The Parish of West Buckrose [www.westbuckrose.org/churches/acklam] [accessed 17 December 2019] informs: "the [present] church was built in 1794 as a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, and superseded the old Anglican church which was demolished in the 1970s". [NB: we have no information on the font of the Domesday-time church here].
