Tynell (1913-1921: 78-79) informs that the medieval baptismal font from this church has disappeared, and that a(nother?) font was mentioned in the 1830 inventory without particulars of material. [Tynell (ibid.) mentions another sandstone water vessel ["vattenskärl af sandsten"] in the old church]. It is not clear to us whether the medieval font [cf. BSI entry for Västra Strö] is still around, as we have found no recent corroboration of its location.
