There are two stone pieces now in the churchyard at Kräklingbo: one is a basin, much eroded now but apparently octagonal originally, with a centre drain hole; the other appears to be an old plinth that may have been re-used in the past. It is possible they may have belonged to a medieval font here. [cf. Index entries for Kräklingbo 1 and 3 for other fonts in this church].
