Exterior

Octagonal stone medieval font (C14?) probably removed from a local ecclesiastical site for the Ladies of Llangollen, ca 1800. Both the bowl sides and the stem are panelled and the splayed base of the bowl has coats of arms and rosettes.

The font on the other side of the High Cross is a modern replica with simplified detail.
