No individual entry found for Rossington in the Domesday survey. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK6250898396] notes: "Church. C12 with mid C14 tower; mostly rebuilt 1844 by Clark of Leeds [...] Font: plain pre-Conquest tub on chamfered plinth and with cable-moulded rim." Harman & Pevsner (2017) list it as Norman. The entry for this church in the CRSBI (2018) notes: "Romanesque sculpture survives in the chancel arch, in the S doorway and on the font. [...] A cylindrical font on its original chamfered base was re-sited in 2008 on the N side of the crossing from the W end of the nave. It is in limestone, with inserts in place of the medieval lock and hasp. There is a cable pattern with well-rounded segments on the angle of the rim. The lead-lined bowl has a continuous curve. [...] The font is comparable in proportion and size with numerous cylindrical fonts in the region; however, a smoothly-rounded bowl is not very common, where internally the sides are straight and bottom almost flat. The cable pattern on the angle of the rim, and with this standard accomplished form, can possibly be dated to 1140-50s in the East Riding, but could be earlier here near the limestone, where more information on correct style would be available."
