Font Notes:
A letter to the editor of 'Archaeologia Cambrensis' (issue no. XXIX, 4th series, January 1877: 156-157) from "E.O." notes: "In this church are both an old Norman font and also the old stoup. They are firmly secured, by being cemented in a corner of the church. The bowl of the font, is not large, while the stoup is larger than usual. Both could have been stoups. The place where the stoup was can be seen, the mortar having given way a little. There is also a piscina in this church, preserved in the same manner as are the other remains. All these are placed together and firmly secured, as stated above". [NB: this appears to be a secon font (?), quadrangular at the top; our [restricted use] visual source shows it in the lapidarium of the church, among other old stones; the image shows only the top of the basin, square both inside and out; there seems to be some carved ornamentation on the side; could it be a pair of the other one?
