The holy-water stoup located outside the church, standing on the south side of the west entrance; it consists of a small octagonal basin, a plain octagonal stem and an octagonal-to-square lower base, all plain. It is monolithic and appears to be made of granite. [NB: the original fabric of the church is said to date from the late-12th century -- BSI local contributor, Joost Limburg, visited the church 10 February 2012 and reported no baptismal font found inside the church -- we have no information on the medieval font here]
