No individual entry found for Rodborough in the Domesday survey. The entry for this parish in gthe Victoria County History (Gloucester, vol. 11, 1976) informs on the church itself: "Rodborough was originally part of the ecclesiastical parish of Minchinhampton. A church had been built by 1384, […] but it was not apparently consecrated or licensed for sacraments until the 1550s". Verey & Brooks (1999-2002) report a modern font here: "Font. Perp[endicular] style, probably of 1842." [NB: we do not have any information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
