Noted and illustrated in Lichtenberg (1915), who gives the location of the font as "prot. kerk, o. d. toren" [=Protestant church, beneath the tower]. Baptismal font of the first half 13th century consisting of a cylindrical basin with a flat moulding at the uppr rim; the lower side of the basin side has four lanceolated leaf motifs that seved originally as capitals to four colonnettes [now missing] that connected it to the lower base; the basin is now raised on a broad plain cylindrical stem; the quadrangular lower base has two volumes, the top one being of the type encountered in earlier fonts of this area, with moulded bases to accommodate the five columns of the base, with lanceolated leaf motifs at the angles, the lower volume being square and plain. There is evidence of an earlier font cover: two metal staples at opposite ends of the upper rim of the basin, as well as some minor damage in the area. [NB: a recent panoramic viewing of the interior of the church [http://server.data-bedrijfsfotos-nederland.nl/sogk-leur/] [accessed 22 November 2015] shows the font at the east end, to the right of the pulpit, and the font has had the outer colonnettes reconstructed].
