Font Notes: Click to view

Described and illustrated in Fåhraeus (1974) as a 13th-14th century baptismal font of the Paradise type: hemispheric basin ornamented with a ribbed pattern mounted on a conical stem with an upper ring moulding and a splayed lower base which, unlike many of the bases of this type of font, is square with an upper roll moulding and stylised foliage (?) motifs in the corners, more like an old-fashion columanr base. The whole is raised on large circular plinth. On-site notes: the font is made of a dark-reddish marble (or limestone of the type that polishes to a marble-like shine); the wide circular plinth has a drain dish with a hole in it, but the basin itself has no visible drain. This font is located by the north pillar of the chancel arch. The narrower tower appears to be the original of the Romanesque church here, but we have no information on the font of the earlier church here.
