Noted and illustrated in BALaT KIK-IRPA [https://balat.kikirpa.be/object/22894] [accessed 21 October 2015]: baptismal font of sandstone dated 1301-1400; roughly hemispherical basin ending in a roll moulding below; raised on a plain cylindrical stem and an octagonal lower base partly buried in the flooring of the church [NB: a 1942 photograph shows the font raised on a quadrangular block; this block also shows the octagonal lower base buried in it, which may account for the short height given in this source: 64 cm].
