Capel Llanilltern / Chapel Illterne / Llan Illtwrn / Llanilterne / Llanillteyrn

Described in Newman (1995) as "a fine early C13 piece, big leaves sprouting symmetrically on the circular bowl. Rosettes too." The round basin is raised on a broached round-to-square pedestal base. A wooden cover, round, flat and modern is on the font. Font here noted and illustrated in the RCAHMW [www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/302090/details/ST+ELLTEYRN'S+CHURCH,+CAPEL+LLANILLTERN/] [accessed 14 December 2015]. A colour digital photograph of the font taken in 2004, part of the Colin Harvey Church Photograph Collection [cat. no.: C441203 / acc, no.: NA/GL/2009/013e] is viewable in the RCAHMW site [www.coflein.gov.uk/en/catalogue/6220097/details/504/] [accessed 14 December 2015]. Noted in the Pentyrch CC site: "Capel Llanilltern Church is listed in the Norwich Taxation of 1254 and was a chapelry within the parish of St Fagan's. The dedication is to Elldeyrn a brother or son of Vortigern. The old church was replaced in 1862, but a number of important memorials from the old church were preserved including the 6th/7th century Vendumaglus Stone. The original 12th century Font also survives."
