Lewis' Dictionary of 1833 and 1848 reports: "the old font, which is of large dimensions, is still preserved." The RCAHM (Montgomery, 1911) notes: "The font is octagonal and bears a rude representation of the Tudor rose on the set-off above the base." The Historic Churches Preservation Trust mentions a "Late Medieval font" [source: 'Recent Grants' issue of the Grants Cttee. Meeting of 22 June 2004, www.historicchurches.org.uk]. The CPAT Montgomeryshire Churches Survey Project [www.cpat.demon.co.uk] reports a late medieval font in this church.
