Meyrick (1808) notes: "The font is octangular, supported by a circular pillar, but has been removed from its original situation to the north-west angle of the church". Lewis Dictionary of Wales (1833) describes the church here as "a small ancient edifice" and reports in it "the font, which is octangular, is supported on a circular shaft, and placed in the north-western angle of the nave." The National Gazetteer of 1868 reports an ancient octagonal font in it. By the time of Evans book in 1914 the old font had disappeared: "Nothing is known of the old Font, and an earthenware bowl is used in the new one." The entry for this church in COFLEIN [https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/301816/details/st-deiniols-church-llanddeiniol] [accessed 10 January 2020] notes: "parish church during the medieval period [...] consisted of nave and chancel divided by a double timber rood screen. [...] present font is thought to be thirteenth-fourteenth-century in date. [...] The church was entirely rebuilt in 1835 on the same site and in the same location as its predecessor. [...] The church was restored in 1883". [NB: was the old font Evans could not locate [cf. supra] located and returned to the church?]
