A stone baptismal font of the 12th century was found disused in the rectorage garden and brought back into the church, beneath the tower, probably in the 1980s, when the church was restored. BALaT KIK-IRPA [http://balat.kikirpa.be/photo.php?path=M026759&objnr=64903&nr=35] [accessed 25 October 2015] reports a metal baptismal container of the 1850s here, but gives no details of the 12th-century font (?).
