Rothwell nr. Kettering / Rodeuuelle / Rodewelle / Rowell (Nhants.)

There are two entries for this Rothwell [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP8181/rothwell/] [accessed 20 August 2015], neither of which mention cleric or church in it. A font here is noted in Pevsner & Cherry (1973): "Font. Hexagonal, C13, probably not in its original shape. A larger, higher and a recessed lower piece. Angle shafts with rings. Dog-tooth decoration." [NB: there is evidence of an early Norman church, but we have no information on the font of that church]. There is an interesting record of alternative baptisms at Rothwell. In Glass (1871), who informs of the founding of an Independent Church in Rothwell in 1656, and of recorded baptisms of that Puritan Church, both infant and adult, recorded in the years 1692 and 1699, among others [NB: the entries for those two years have dates and the names of the baptizands in Glass, who admits that: "Whether the baptism were by sprinkling or immersion, we are not informed, probably by the former, as we have no reason to believe that any convenience existed for immersion."]
