On-site notes: wall-mounted octagonal baptismal font looking very much like a holy-water stoup, despite its size; it may have had an earlier existence as a regularly mounted font and, at a later point, been partially embeded in the wall; the upper rim shows traces of the cover hardware; the front side of the basin has a date (1690? - or 1650?)
