Noted in the RCAHMW (Pembroke, 1925): "The font is of the cushion type; it has been refaced and spoilt. The bowl is now 22 1/2 inches square externally; the entire height is 29 inches." Noted in Tyrrell-Green (1928) on a list of mostly Welsh fonts consisting of a square basin decorated with scallop motif (includes one from Bristol St Philip's and another from Thornbury, Gloucs., both bordering with Wales). Listed by Lord (2003) as one of about twenty square fonts produced by a north-Devon workshop [NB: Lord cites Robert Boak's unpublished research as source for the workshop identification]. The decoration of these fonts consists chiefly of scallop and/or foliage motifs. Noted in Thurlby (2006) in a long "List of scalloped table-top fonts in Pembrokeshire".
