Routh / Rute / Rutha

There are two entries, one of which multiple-place, for Routh [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TA0942/routh/] [accessed 7 November 2019] neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. Glynne's 30 April 1872 1834 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007) reports: "The font is of late date, has octagonal bowl, with shields on each face, and on an octagonal stem" [NB: Butler (ibid.) adds that the church had been renovated in 1864 and 1869, and that the west tower was completely replaced in 1904-5 -- the font Glynne noted, therefore, must have been just installed before his visit -- we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]. Poulson (1840) writes: "The font is under the lancet window in the north-west corner, it is a plain octagon basin and pedestal, with blank shields in each face". The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York East Riding, vol. 7, 2002) notes: "There was evidently a church at Routh by the late 12th century [...] The church was dedicated to ALL SAINTS, or ALL HALLOWS, by 1451 [...] About 1830 the nave was reroofed and its south wall rebuilt. [...] The church was further restored in the 1860s [...] Another, more radical, restoration was carried out in 1905 [...] the main work being the rebuilding of the tower. [...] Fittings include a late medieval, octagonal font". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TA0911042505] notes: "Church. C14 nave, C14 chancel, C16 - early C17 south porch, west tower of 1904: extensively restored by Brodick, Lowther and Walker in 1904"; the font is not mentioned in it.
