Font noted in the RCAHMW (Pembroke, 1925). Humphrey Bolton, who visited the church site on 22 March 2005, reported the church disused: "One of the many churches that are now surplus to requirements. This one, with its amusing little tower, had a planning notice at the gate for conversion to a house." A visit by David Medcalf on 1 October 2007, found the church building already converted to a private dwelling and in much better state of conservation [NB: we have no information on whether or not the font is still in the building]
