Font Notes:
Described and illustrated in Bolege-Vieweg (1998: 70, 71) as a hemispherical mounted baptismal font of the 17th century. The basin is hemispherical and totally plain. It is mounted on a short cylindrical stem, equally plain, as if re-worked. The base proper is a square pedestal that looks like a Roman altar, especially with the way the inscription [cf. Inscription area] has been carved on it.
