The Wales Directory site [www.walesdirectory.co.uk] notes: "The original church was demolished in 1806 and the current larger church was built on the same site [...] The tower is separate from the main church building [...] by some 20 yards [...] the stone medieval font had gone missing and has now been returned to the churchyard of St Sadwrn's". The old basin stands now [March 2009] in the churchyard, raised on a made-up base bearing a plaque that reads: "Medieval font removed from the church 1854; recovered and resited adjacent to the medieval pillar; July 1989". The octagonal basin appears now totally plain and may have been used as a farm trough to judge by the spout created in the upper rim.
