No entry found for Rotherwick in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "Rotherwick was a chapelry dependent on Odiham until 1867 [...] The oldest part of the building is the chancel, which [...] dates from the latter part of the 13th century [...] The font has a plain cylindrical bowl on a modern base, and may be as early as the 12th century; it stands close to the south door of the nave." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU7134556292] reports "an old font" in it, without further details.
