Lübke (1870) notes "a contrivance like a crane [...] serves for the raising of the heavy lid" in this church. Esquié (1880) mentions a font-cover crane of the late-16th century, inferior in quality to those of Hal and Louvain. Described in Lasteyrie (1926-1927) as being a font cover in the same style as those of the fonts at the church of Saint-Pierre of Louvain, but dated about fifty years later and being less ornamented that the former. [NB: Bond (1908) mentions a cauldron-shaped metal font in Cologne; it is not clear yet to which church he refers to -- to be resolved]
