Noted in Cox (1912): "Octagonal font, with tabernacled cover, new." The octagonal decorated font is probably from the 19th-century restoration of this church; the tall wooden cover is raised by a counterweight system. [NB: we have no information on the earlier font of this church which was, according to Cox (ibid.): "rebuilt and consecrated in 1259"]. [NB: we have no information on the original font of this church]. The modern font and cover are illustrated in A Snap in Time [http://www.caerkief.co.uk/Churches/Antony.html] [accessed 13 November 2009]
