A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 2 February 2025) refers to a 1997 exhibition catalogue of drawings by Andries and Gerrit Schaemaker, Beschryving en Afbeelding der Steden; Dorpen; Geheugten; Adelyke en andere Gebouwen in WestFriesland, Waterland, Kennemerland en Aankleve van Dien, Dus beschreven en by Een Versamelt; mitsgaders in Alphabetise Ordre Geschikt door Andries Schoemaker. Deze beschrijving is in 1996 gemaakt door Jeanine Otten ter voorbereiding van haar hoofdstuk 'Opdrachtgevers Andries en Gerrit Schoemaker' in L. Kooijmans e.a. (red.), Pronk met Pen en Penseel, 1997, catalogus bij de gelijknamige tentoonstelling, p. 109-126. De indeling is voor deze publicatie aangepast." The catalogue, contains two references to drawings that include a reference to a very old font in the church, octagonal in shape and made of white stone ["aan de kerk stond een seer oude stene doopvont [...] de doopvont daar boven van gesproken is achtkant en van witte steen"]. Unfortunately, adds Pol Herman, there is no trace of this font now.
