Llanbadarn Fynydd / Llanbadarn Vynith / Llanbadarn Vynyd

The Architect (issue of 16 August 1873) notes: "The font is of large size, with an octagonal shaft chamfered off to a square base, and is somewhat peculiar from the fact that the octagonal form of the shaft is carried up part of the basin and then dies away into the circular form at the top; it is probably of the date of the fourteenth century, or even earlier." The CPAT Radnorshire Churches Survey Project database notes: "The church was rebuilt and enlarged by S.W. Williams in 1894, and the west gallery removed; the foundations of the old church were re-used. A report of 1901 claims that a fragment of a font or stoup, inscribed in Lombardic capitals with the names of the Evangelists and dating to the 14thC, was found in foundations of the old church in 1896 (sic). The present whereabouts of this is unknown." [NB: the citation is probably from Archaeologia Cambrensis (1901: 84) -- to be completed]
