Font Notes:
Click to view
A cushion-capital font in this church noted in the RCAHMW (Pembroke, 1925). Described in Lloyd, etc. (2001): "Font. A massive C12 square scalloped bowl on an original squat column base." Noted and illustrated in Thurlby (2006) with "traces of limewash and red paint" on it. The square mounted font is of the late Norman period, probably from the late 12th or early 13th century, like the church itself; the plain basin is of the cushion-type, with evident damage on at least one of the sides of the upper rim where the old cover staple cracked the stone; the stem of the base is cylindrical and rather short and the lower base is square; the plinth is square as well.
