Described and illustrated in Sveriges kyrkor: Uppland (1921- , Bd. V, hft. 2: 125-126 and fig. 125) as the remaining fragments of a late-13th century basin of a baptismal font; the basin is of the quatrefoil type, similar to the one from Hedesunda [cf. Index entry] with outer sides ornamented with a low-relief blind arcade of pointed arches, almost like a ribbed pattern; the multiple fragments had been found in several places and were located ca. 1967 in the "vapenhuset" [weapons vestibule] of the church. The modern fonts here include a wooden one from the early-20th century, and a stone font made in 1937 by Axel Wallenberg.
