Noted in Mithoff (1971-1880) and in Ligtenberg (1915). Listed in Drake (2002) as a baptismal font of the "Bentheim School, Group A2, modified cylinder", a group in which this author includes the fonts at Bersenbrück, Büttel, Emsbüren, Enschede, Epe, Ermelo, Gimpte, Herzlake, Holtland, Ochtrup, Ostönnen, Otterloo, Ueffeln. The font consists of a round slightly tapering basin decorated with a rope moulding all around the sides; at the angle where the underbowl chamfer commences is a pattern of chevrons, and there is another rope moulding at the centre of the chamfer; the circular base has two parallel roll mouldings. Wooden font cover, plain, flat and round, with knob handle; modern. Noted and illustrated in the Kath. Pfarramt St. Vincentius [http://kkg.st-vincentius-bersenbrueck.de/3-taufstein/] [accessed 10 February 2016], which mentions that this goblet-shaped font, which still retains traces of paint on it, is, together with those at Ankum and Ueffeln, of the older and simpler designs of the Bentheim fonts ["Der Bersenbrücker Taufstein gehört neben denen aus Ankum und Ueffeln zu den älteren und einfacher gestalteten. Reste einer Bemalung sind noch zu erkennen."]
