Described and illustrated in Heales (1889: 39 and fig. 16): baptismal font of the 13th or 14th century consisting of a rather shallow cylindrical basin raised on what this author describes as "German hock-glass" base: an upper ring mmoulding, a slightly splaying stem and a wider circular lower base. The sides of the basin are vertical and decorated with a blind arcade of trefoilf arches. NB: the labels for Hasle and Rønne fonts are mixed in Heales; he also uses the English style-date system, places this font at about the same date as the one at nearby Rønne [cf. Index entry for Rønne] which is dated Early English [1190-1250] or already into the Decorated style [1250 1350]. Noted in Mackeprang (1941). Described in Danmarks Kirker [http://danmarkskirker.natmus.dk/uploads/tx_tcchurchsearch/Bornholm_072-083.pdf] [accessed 10 November 2016] after Mackeprang. Baptismal font of limestone of the Early Gothic, imported from Gotland, of the so-called "keglestubtype" [truncated cone type]; it consists of a round tapering basin decorated with an arcade of blank trefoiled arches; there are some repairs in cement, and the original drain may have been thus plugged. The font is now painted over, gray and black.
