Font Notes:
Noted in a letter to the editor of 'Archaeologia Cambrensis' (issue no. XXIX, 4th series, January 1877: 156-157) from "E.O.": "By the porch at Llanarmon vicarage, on the left hand side as you enter, is either an old font or a holy water stoup. It came from the old church. Judging from its size, it appears to have been a stoup, but possibly it may have been a font. Still it is hardly so large in the bowl as the old fourteenth century fonts, and I am inclined to think it was a stoup." [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of this church]
