The CPAT Montgomeryshire Churches Survey Project [www.cpat.demon.co.uk] mentions the font and suggests there may be part of an earlier font that has survived: "The present eastern respond is actually the octagonal pillar of the chancel arcade added in the 14thC; at its base is some re-used 12thC carved stone, possibly from a window but perhaps more likely from something like a font stem." [cf. Index entry for Kerrry No.1 for the later. Perpendicular, font in this church]
