No individual entry found for Walton East in the Domesday survey, nor is the name Walter de Wale indexed in it. The RCAHMW (Pembroke, 1925) reports a scalloped font in this church. Described in Lloyd, etc. (2001): "Font. C12 square bowl, scalloped and tapered below." Noted in Thurlby (2006) in a long "List of scalloped table-top fonts in Pembrokeshire". The font is listed and iilustrated in the CRSBI (1991): "Square triple-scallop type bowl of fine grey stone with no necking, standing on a modern support. [...] The font very similar to that at Spittal, but stronger taper." The present font appears to have lost the top part of the basin; what remains is actually the original underbowl, now mounted on a modern pedestal base. [NB: cf. Index entry for Walton West for a full font of similar type, perhaps made by the same hands/workshop]
