No individual entry found for Walton West in the Domesday survey. The entry for this parish in Lewis' Topographical Dictionary of Wales (1833) states that the church "is not entitled to architectural notice". The RCAHMW (Pembroke, 1925) reports a Norman font in this church. Described in Lloyd, etc. (2001): "Font. Norman square bowl, with little scallops underneath." Noted in Thurlby (2006) in a long "List of scalloped table-top fonts in Pembrokeshire". Noted and illustrated in the CRSBI (2018): "The font is of the rectangular multi-scallop capital type. It is redressed. [...] Rectangular multi-scallop type with 5 scallops on each face, the corner scallops more massive that the rest. The bowl has a cavetto necking and stands on a modern support." [NB: the CRSBI [cf. supra] definition of 'rectangular' on account of the two cm. difference is disregarded in our font shape desciption]. [NB: the font at Walton East may have been similar to this one originally].
