A font in this church noted in the RCAHMW (Pembroke, 1925). [NB: a recent [6 January 2008] visit by 'ceridwen' reports: "Derelict church at Morfil/Morvil. Despite being rebuilt in the late C19 this little church is no longer in use, the windows boarded up and the graveyard overgrown. The gate carries the date 1922 and the last burial seems to have been in 1968. [...] The porch roof has collapsed although the rest of the church still seems to be in reasonable condition." [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/651113] [accessed 8 December 2010] [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of the font; it may still be inside the semi-ruined church]
