Birgit Lundberg describes and illustrates the middle section of a font base in Roosval (1917), a fragment found in a garden in Enköping; she states that the owner of the garden, S. Langerström, donated it to the museum in 1904. Described and illustrated in Sveriges kyrkor: Uppland (1921- , Bd. X: 131) as the remains of a limestone cylindrical (?) baptismal font of the 15th century (?); only about 2/3 of the basin stand; the outer sides are ornamented with flower-in-a-circle motifs. The round pedestal base is ornamented with a thick woven pattern. It is believed to have originally belonged to the church of St. Ilian or that of St. Olov, both in Enköping. The damaged font was deposited at the SHM in 1975 The active font in this church dates from 1943 and was made of grey Sörmland granite by Erik Sand, of Strängnäs [not listed in this Index]. [Text in SK: "Dopfunt omkring 1300, av kalksten, dopfuntsskål fragmentarisk samt del av dopfuntsfot (fig 141). Skålen har välvd botten utan dekor. Dess sarg är dekorerad i låg relief med dubbla rosor med åtta rundade blad i nedsänkta, runda fält; mellan dessa medaljonger på dubbel stängel uppskjutande Iiljeblad. Dessas stjälkar bildar en sammanhängande bågfris, flätad med medaljongernas undre ramlist, som löper som en smal rundstav, avgränsande funtens sarg från dess undre hälft. Av skålens sarg är något mindre än hälften bevarad. I ena sidan är dessutom ett större parti av skålens underdel bortslaget. Skålens inre diameter ca 49, djup ca 21 cm. -Foten är cylindrisk, massiv. Utsidan är dekorerad av flätverk i relief: fyra liggande rundstavar flätade med arton vertikala stavar av samma grovlek. Diameter 52, höjd 27 cm. I norra korsarmen. Den fragmentariska dopfunten deponerades från SHM 1975 och uppställdes i den musealt inredda norra korsarmen. Dopfunten härrör eventuellt från S Ilians eller S Olovs kyrkor." The fragments of the basin and the base are noted and illustrated in the SHM’s database Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 940926F1] as a "nodgruppen" font made of limestone in the 15th century. Photographs of the font fragments show them inside the church in 2018. The church has two modern fonts, one of them made of wood.
