The entry for this church in CADW [https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=en&id=17425] [accessed 14 November 2022] notes: "Anglican parish church, essentially Romanesque, as shown by the long thin plan, though the roofs, tower and most of the windows are C15, C14 chancel windows. Romanesque single slab tympanum to S door and tiny N window discovered in 1901. First mentioned in a charter of Usk Priory dated 1330, though Bradney suggests the first church being built during the C9 [...] Font dated 1661 with Jacobean-type ornament to octagonal bowl, incised inscription and roses to rim, incised roses to octagonal shaft. Red stone base with malt-shovel panels may be retooled medieval." Described abd illustrated in Newman (2000): "a charming piece, the curved octagonal sides of the bowl decorated with cartouches , the bowl and stem incised with floral patterns. Clearly by the same craftsman as the celebrated sundial at Trellech." The date 1661 appears in an inscription [the text is not available] on the lip of the upper rim of the basin.
