Described in Lampe & Willing (2012) as a baptismal font made of grey sandstone consisting of a round basin decorated with an arcade of six arches on columns with capitals and bases and rosettes in the spandrels; in the arches are: 1)1581; 2)a stone mason mark; 3)charged shield; 4)charged shield; 5)Crucifixion scene with two heraldic lilies; 6)John the Baptist?; some of the motifs and symbols in the arches are inscribed in a scroll frame; the basin rests on four very schematic sejant lions. The basin sides are brightly painted; the lions of the base are not. There is a metal top on the basin, the baptismal dish made in 1962 by the Hümmer artist W. Hugues. The entry for this font in the DIO (Deutsche Inschriften Online) [https://www.inschriften.net/landkreis-holzminden/inschrift/nr/di083-0092.html] [accessed 6 February 2023] identifies one of the coats of arms as belonging to the Wrede family ["Wappen Wrede (gespalten, darüber Kranz mit fünf Blüten)"], the other to the Falkenberg Family ["Wappen Falkenberg (zwei auswärts gekehrte, aufrechte Schlüssel)"], and notes: "Taufstein. Grauer Sandstein. Runder, auf einem Fuß von vier Löwen ruhender Taufstein. Am Taufbecken sechs durch Arkaden gebildete Bogenfelder: im ersten die Jahreszahl, im zweiten ein Steinmetzzeichen (M7), im dritten und vierten je ein Wappen, im fünften Christus am Kreuz flankiert von zwei heraldischen Lilien, im sechsten ein männlicher Heiliger, vermutlich Johannes der Täufer. Unter der erhaben ausgeführten Jahreszahl, die auf einer von Rollwerk umgebenen Tafel steht, zwei erhabene Kreise; die Jahreszahl und die Kreise gelb gefaßt". Noted and illustrated in the entry for this church in the Evangelisch-lutherische Landeskirche Hannovers [https://www.trinitatis-gesamtkirchengemeinde.de/Unsere-Kirchen/Lauenfoerde] [accessed 6 February 2023]: "Der Taufstein ist aus dem Jahr 1581. Er wird von vier steinernen Löwen getragen und ist aus Sandstein. Der Taufstein ist mit dem Kreuzigungsbild, Johannes dem Täufer, der Jahreszahl 1581, Steinmetzzeichen und Stifterwappen der Stifterfamilie de Wrede geschmückt. Auf dem Taufstein liegt die bronzene Taufschale, ein 1962 geschaffenes Werk des Hümmer Bildhauers W. Hugues."
