Church Notes: "The church was built in 1926–27 from medieval ruins and designed by the Cardiff architect John Coates Carter. It was built according to Arts and Crafts principles, that is, to use the simplest available local materials, without attempting to copy the style of any particular period. After the church was closed on 2002, it was taken into the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Teilo%27s_Church,_Llandeloy] [accessed 8 December 2010]

Font Notes: Click to view

Noted in the RCAHMW (Pembroke, 1925) as an octagonal baptismal font. Described in Lloyd, etc. (2001): "Font. C13 or C15, tapering octagonal bowl, splayed in at the base, and on a round shaft." The Historic Wales Listed Building Database Record [http://jura.rcahms.gov.uk/cadw] [accessed 8 December 2010] notes: "Pembrokeshire Record Office, HPR/82/13. Coates Carter extended the chancel by 2 or 3 yards, saved the rood-loft steps, the W end, chancel arch and squint, and he retrieved the font." The Friends of Friendless Churches entry for Llandeloy [http://www.friendsoffriendlesschurches.org.uk/CMSMS/index.php?page=llandeloy-history] [accessed 8 December 2010] notes: "Both fonts are of stone; one is preserved in situ, being built up from a few ancient stones discovered during excavation, the other - an octagonal one - stands on three rough steps that are for the most part medieval, described as 'perfect' when uncovered. There is a delightful stoup and two matching piscinas carved from grey slate."
