NB: we found a broom outside the active entranceway in most Gotland churches; it appears to be a code or signal used by the churchwardens, perhaps a visual reminder to lock the church in the evenings?

Font Notes: Click to view

There are two baptismal fonts in this church: the old one is probably 13th-century; the later one is 17th-century, in the Baroque style. On-site notes: the older font, of which only a fragment of the underbowl and the full base remain, is now disused and located in the southeast corner of the chancel, to the right of the altar; the upper fragment appears to belong to a cylindrical or slightly tapering plain basin of the 'paradisenfunten' group/type; the base is also of the same type, with an upper block that includes a thick roll moulding on a plain conical stem, and the lower block of round splaying shape, also plain. [cf. Index entry for Hejnum No. 2 & 3 for the other fonts in this church].
