Described and illustrated in Tynell (1913-1921: 70 and pl. XXXIII: 4): medieval baptismal font of the Hylliegruppen; the basin made of sandstone, the base of limestone. This font is quite similar to the one at Glemminge, except that the underbowl of the Snårestad font is plain. Like the font at Glemminge, the base of this font is square, of the "girdled" type. Tynell (ibid.) reports that this font was formerly in the gounds at nearby Marsvinholm [about 6 km NE] but had been moved to present church by the time of his writing ca. 1913. Noted and illustrated in Rydbeck (1936) in her section on the 'palmettgruppen'. Listed in Drake (2002: 70) as part of the Bosarp group [to which belongs the font at Hyllie]. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 900731F1] as the basin of a 'palmettgruppen' baptismal font made of sandstone ca. 1200; the painted base is a later replacement. No cover present. The present metal baptismal dish was gifted to the new church in 1931.
