Noted in Ludorf (1914) and in Ligtenberg (1915). Described and illustrated in Pudelko (1932). In Wiggenhorn (1934). 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. On-site notes: baptismal font of Bentheim sandstone, consisting of an almost cylindrical basin, the sides are slightly tapering and ornamented with (top down) a vine, a double rope moulding or braid and a band of fan-frieze pattern; raised on a round-to-square pedestal base with four corner figures at 90-degree angles of the broad central shaft, with a roll moulding atop [NB: it is quite possible that the upper rim area has been broken off and the top restored, as the basins of this design usually have an additional band just below the upper rim; the original inner basin sides and bottom are not accessible, as a metal dish is now cemented to the rim on the inside. The font appears monolithic. No font cover present.
