Meyrick (1808) writes of a church built here in 1187 but mentions no a font in it. Evans (1914) states that a church was documented here in the 11th century and informs that the present font is new, "the bowl of the old one has been relegated to the entrance to the Tower". The entry for this church in Evans (1914) mentions no font in it. The entry for this church in COFLEIN [https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/96671/details/st-davids-church-llanddewi-brefi] [accessed 11 January 2020] notes: "The site is thought to have been an early monastic settlement, and its oldest inscribed stone, Llanddewibrefi 1 (NPRN 275648) dates to the sixth century. The church is first mentioned in documents of the eleventh century when it was named by Rhygyfarch as the location of the Synod of Llanddewi Brefi in around 550. [...] The church has a total of six Early Christian carved stones. [...] The church was a parish church during the medieval period [...] A rectangular font bowl dating to the fourteenth century lies loose in the chancel. [...] The nave was again largely rebuilt in 1874 [...] The octagonal oolite font dates from this time."
