There are three entries for Barrowden [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SK9400/barrowden/] [accessed 20 July 2015], two of which mention a priest, but not a church, in it, though there probably was one there. The Victoria County History (Rutland, vol. 2, 1935) notes: "No part of the church as now existing is older than c. 1210, to which period the chancel arch and the dividing arcade between the chancel and former north chapel belong, but the plan has probably developed in the normal way from an aisleless 12thcentury building, the nave of which covered the same area as at present. [...] The building was restored in 1843–4, and on a more extensive scale in 1875 [...] There was a further restoration in 1896. [...] The font is ancient, [...] and has a plain octagonal bowl on a small cylindrical banded stem and four octagonal [...] legs with moulded capitals and bases. [...] It is perhaps contemporary with the early 13th-century work in the chancel."
