Rotherham No. 2 / Rodreham

There is an entry for Rotherham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK4392/rotherham/] [accesseible 19 November 2018]; it mentions a priest and a church in it. Bond (1908) informs of a notable Post-Reformation font cover "turned out by Sir Gilbert Scott as 'out of keeping,' but brought back in 1880", but does not mention the font itself. The font appears illustrated in two drawings in Fawcett (1844) [cf. Images area]: one of the drawings shows the font alone, a plain octagonal basin mounted on a rounded pedestal and a plain octagonal lower base; the other drawing [cf. Images area] shows the font in the context of the north transept (?) of the church; in both drawings the font appears without cover, which matches the absence recorded in Bond [NB: Fawcett's book dates from the 1840s, and the cover was not restored until 1880 according to Bond]. [NB: the font recorded here is the "new font"; the old font is entered in this Index as Rotherham No. 1]. Neither font is mentioned in Cox-Harvey (1907). A current photograph of the north nave of Rotherham All Saints' shows the octagonal font with decorated sides and a tall pyramidal cover on it. Lawton (1842) informs of a faculty dated 12th July 1746 "to alter the situation of the pulpit and font, to take down certain lofts, and to new seat the Church" [NB: supposedly this faculty referred to this later font]. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK4283992876] mentions two fonts: "Font in south aisle c1879 has spire cover. C12 font in north aisle, weathered."
