Noted in Mithoff (1871-1880) and in Ligtenberg (1915). Classed in Drake (2002) as a baptismal font of the "Bentheim School, Berge b. Type II", a group of fonts that includes those at Alfhausen, Badbergen, Bippen, Borken, Heek, Lathen, Nordherringen, Salzbergen, Schapen, Schepsdorf, Südkirchen, Utrecht (Katharinenkonvent), Weerselo, Wettringen and Wissel. The font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated (top down) with a double rope moulding or brarid, a vine with palmettes and fruit bunches, another double rope moulding or braid, and a series of items below that include several human heads, floral and foliage motifs, etc.; raised on a round-to-square pedestal base with a roll moulding atop and four couchant-regardant lions set at 90-degree angles of the broad central shaft. The font is now provided with a modern metal baptismal dish that has its own hinged cover. The font is now located at the east end of the nave, north side.
A communication from Pol Herman to BSI (e-mail of 22 May 2022) informed that: "The reference to water may also be reflected in the place name. In any case, one theory derives the place name from "Bipehem" = "located at moving springs". The Romanesque predecessor building can still be seen today from the outside (walled up arched windows, Schwagstorfer door). The church tower was built in 1245. The church was extended to the east around 1490 and received its Gothic form in three nave bays and a polygonal 5/8 choir. The oldest piece of furniture is the Bentheim baptismal font (around 1200)."
