The article 'St Brynach’s Church, Nevern, Pembrokeshire, Wales' in The Journal of Antiquities (February 21, 2014 by sunbright57 ) [https://thejournalofantiquities.com/2014/02/21/st-brynachs-church-nevern-pembrokeshire-wales/] [accessed 8 May 2019] notes: "There was quite probably a monastery here c 540 AD, and maybe even some sort of ecclesiastical centre, but then in the 12th century a Norman church was built on the site, today only the tower of that building remains, the rest being from the 14th and 15th centuries onwards through to 1864 when restoration took place"; [no font mentioned in it]. A font here is noted in Thurlby (2006) in a long "List of scalloped table-top fonts in Pembrokeshire". The entry for this church in British Listed Buildings [https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300012746-church-of-st-brynarch-nevern#.XNLmeIp7lrQ] [accessed 8 May 2019] notes: "C15 Anglican parish church with earlier tower, much restored 1864 [...] Fine 1864 Bath stone font and pulpit. Dismantled medieval font, square shallow basin chamfered to circular base." The font in use at this church now [June 2010] is the modern one of 1864 [cf. supra], consisting of an almost plain octagonal basin with moulded underbowl, raised on clustered columns with moulded bases, and an octagonal plinth with kneeling stone. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with metal decoration and ring handle, also Victorian.
