Lewis' Dictionary of 1849 reports: "The font, a relic of an older building, is a small circular basin, placed at the western end of the nave". [NB: this same source suggests that some parts of the building date from the reign of James I [i.e., 1603-1625] but the font must have been passed on from an earlier building on the site or brought from elsewhere]. The entry for this parish in the RCAHM's An Inventory of the Ancient Monuments in Anglesey (vol. 2, 1960: 92-93) reports a modern church but for a 1612 north transept, and a font "a plain octagonal bowl on a modern pedestal, 14th-century". The brief entry for this church in COFLEIN [https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/27467/details/st-cawrdafs-church-llangoed] [accessed 22 January 2020] reads: "Rebuilt in 1881, except for original transcept [sic] 1612." There is also a wall-mountedholy-water stoup that may go back to the original church here.
