[NB: this reference located the font in the churchyard, but a correction in this same source (p. [188]) places the font at the Lunds universitet historiska museum. Noted and illustrated in Rydbeck (1936) in her section on master Mårten. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 940920F4] as a 'Mårtensgruppen' baptismal font made of sandstone in the second half of the 12th century, with significant damage to the basin and loss of a part of it. Drake (2002: 151, 184) lists this font with the Hör group, decorated with palmettes and lions. No cover present. The old font was replaced in 1876 by a font of sandstone by Helgo Zettervall, decorated with the lamb and a Greek cross symbols, as well as the date 1876. The baptismal dish in use in the church with the new font was made of brass in the 17th century.
