Described in Knight (1867) as "a rich specimen of admirably-sculptured gothic work, which dates from 1455". Lübke (1870) notes a metal font "cast in 1455 by Laurence Groven; it rests on three kneeling angels, and is ornamented with figures in relief of Christ, of Mary, and of the Apostles." Listed by Enlart (1902) among a group of metal fonts with stone bases [was it on a stone base earlier?]. The bronze basin is decorated with an arcade of [13?] crocketed Ogee arches, each containing an apostle or saint (St. Peter gets special treatment with a wider and more ornate arch); above the arcade, a running inscription; the base has a slender central shaft of stone and three outer supports in the shape of kneeling angels. Noted and illustrated in 'Gotische Bronzefünten in Nordostdeutschland' [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotische_Bronzefünten_in_Nordostdeutschland] [accessed 2 April 2010]: "Dieses Taufbecken zeigt zwölf Relieffiguren (Segnender Heiland mit Siegesfahne, Maria, neun Apostel und die Heilige Dorothea). Der Kunsthistoriker Max Hasse hat darauf hingewiesen, dass die Relieffiguren Merkmale des Weichen Stils aufweisen. Ihre Formen waren vermutlich älter. Bei der Herstellung des Beckens im Lehmhemdverfahren wurden die Relieffiguren nach dem Guss des Kessels als separate Gussteile auf den Kessel aufgenietet. Ungewöhnlich ist auch die Kombination mit der im Verhältnis dazu auch noch recht großen Figur der heiligen Dorothea. Der Kessel steht auf einem mittigen, kelchförmigen Fuß und außen auf drei knienden Engeln. Er ist mit Laurens grove signiert" [Christ, Mary, nine Apostles and St. Dorothea]. There is another inscription in German around the inner rim of the basin, perhaps a passage from Isaiah (41:10 "Fear thou not; for I am with thee")? This inscription appears to be modern. [NB: the facilities manager informed us during our May 2023 visit that an earlier font had been sold more than 600 years ago to a church in a neighbouring village, but there are neither records nor memory on its name].
Credit and Acknowledgements: We are grateful to the facilities manager for his help in accessing the church and the font. We are also grateful to Julen Bengoetxea for his photographs of this church and font
