The RCAHMW (Pembroke, 1925) mentions a font in this church. Described in Lloyd et al. (2004): "Font, based on the Norman one at Lamphey, but taller and polychromatic. It stands in a W end baptistery with brightly tiled floor and dado." [cf. Index entry for Lamphey] [NB: the church fabric dates from the 13th century, but we have no information on its original font].
