Listed in Drake (2002) as a font of the Bentheim School, "Group A/B1, Transitional with colonnettes"; the group includes the fonts at Almen, Apeldoorn and Vledder; Drake (ibid.) adds: "There are three fonts which have slight vertical articulations in the manner of Vledder and Apeldoorn, the lower half cut back to provide the appearance of a massive central shaft flanked by four engaged colonnettes. These are Fulkum and Funix [...] and Dunum". In Steensma (2007). An e-mail communication of 29 May 2015 from Joost Limburg to BSI notes: "According to Steensma the font in Apeldoorn is as old as the one in Almen, i.e. mid 12th century. After the Reformation it was put outside, where it is said to have served as cathedra for the sexton. Later, in the new marketplace, it was used by stallholders to whet their knives. [...] Ligtenberg does not mention this font. [...] Of the original Romanesque church only part of the foundations remains. In the late 16th century it was replaced by a new church (nowadays called the Oude Mariakerk) that in its turn was demolished in 1842 to make way for a marketplace."
