Aberporth / Aber-porth

Evans (1914) reports that the old church described in Lewis' Dictionary as being "of great antiquity" was demolished in 1857 and the old font was discarded and replaced by a Victorian one; the old font, it adds, "has been recovered and placed in the churchyard to the left of the entrance-porch". Listed in Tyrrell-Green (1928) as a font that stands "unused in the churchyard". Thurlby (2006) cites an earlier (1914) article by T-G in which the font appeared illustrated outside the porch. The entry for this church in COFLEIN [https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/400323/details/st-cynwyls-church-aberporth] [accessed 4 January 2020] notes: "The church was a parish church during the medieval period [...] A font, with square bowl and cylindrical stem, is mounted in the churchyard adjacent to the porch is late medieval in date. [...] The [modern] font dates from the nineteenth century."
