Church Notes: medieval church late-12th or early-13thC; demolished 1760 but a belfry [pre-1680] re-built 1811 remains today -- According to SK: Medelpad the only evidence of the old church is the foot of the baptismal font; the medieval church was demolished in 1760 and a new church then built.
Roosval (1914) describes it as the base of a 'musselcuppstyp' font. Noted ain illustrated in Cornell (1918). In Reutersvärd (1967). Described and illustrated in Sveriges kyrkor: Medelpad (Bd. I, hft. 2: 326, 332) as the surviving base of an early-13th century limestone baptismal font from the Calcarius workshop of Gotland; it consists of two volumes: the pedestal itself is cylindrical and has four protruding human heads at 90-degree angles on the upper part; the lower base is square at the bottom and ornamented with a round mulding atop with leaf motif at the corners. [NB: SK (ibid.) reports this base as being in the Härnösands museum]. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 900831F2] as the base of a baptismal font made of Gotland limestone in the second half of the 13th century; the SHM entry refers to Roosval's identification as a 'musselcuppstyp' font but does not endorse it.
