Rudbaxton / Rudepac's Town / Rudepagstonia

A cushion-capital font in this church noted in the RCAHMW (Pembroke, 1925). 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 in Lloyd et al. (2001): "Font. C12, square bowl with scallops, circular pedestal." The Carmarthenshire Family History Society web site [http://CarmarthenshireFHS.co.uk] is a little more descriptive: "Fine old Norman font. This consists of a square basin scalloped below, and ornamented on one side with a rude quatrefoil or Saint Andrew's cross. The basin has a thick cylindrical stem without any ornament, the whole standing on a square base." This same source mentions the fonts at Haroldston West, Lambston, Prendergast, Johnston, Brawdy, Camrose and Spittal, as being similar and in the immediate vecinity. Noted in Thurlby (2006) in a long "List of scalloped table-top fonts in Pembrokeshire".
