Yes mgnv, it is most definitely Mary. I can see how at first glance it could look like Alice.

You can go to the FS catalog and search for film # 1514540 - they cover the Wolsingham parish records, so Barb's post is a transcription of the original record, not the backup copy for the bishop, and it apparently says Mary. Once I know this, I can make out the Ma_ easy enough - compare with the M in Milburn - the _ry are there, too, but very faint.

No need to buy credits - the images are free to view on FamilySearch.

Here's a link to the actual baptism entry:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-12330-227300-58?cc=1309819&wc=MMRX-YXR:n1811159156

Unfortunately there's no additional info.

This record was in the England, Diocese of Durham Bishops' Transcripts ca., 1700-1900 collection. There's no index but doesn't take long to work out how to get to the required record.
