The entry for this church in the Kirchegemiendelexikon 1800 Geschichten [https://kirchengemeindelexikon.de/einzelgemeinde/ueffeln/] [accessed 11 June 2024] mentions a bapyismal font of the 13th-century Bentheimer type that was relegated to the parish garden but was restored to the church in 1921 ["Taufstein, Bentheimer Typ, (13. Jh.), zeitweise im Pfarrgarten, seit 1921 wieder in der Kirche"]. The entry for this church in the Evangelish-lutherische Landesnirche Hannovers [https://stmarien.wir-e.de/kirche] [accessed 11 June 2024] reports a 12th-13th century Bentheimer-type baptismal font on the north side of the chancel; it further remarks that these fonts were made in the Bentheim and Gildehauser mines between around 1170 and 1300; this sandstone is a pure and even-grained quartz sandstone with high strength, weather resistance and hardness, which is still easy to work with ["Der Taufstein ("Bentheimer Typ", 12. - 13. Jahrhundert) steht linksseitig im Altarraum. Der Fuß ist durch einen Rundwulst unterteilt. Die Taufsteine dieser Fertigung wurden in der Zeit von ca. 1170 bis 1300 in den Bentheimer und Gildehauser Gruben hergestellt. Dieser Sandstein ist ein reiner und gleichkörniger Quarzsandstein von hoher Festigkeit, Witterungsbeständigkeit und Härte, der sich dennoch gut bearbeiten lässt."] Noted 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 entry for this church in the German Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Marien_(Ueffeln)] [accessed 11 June 2024] notes a late Romanesque baptismal font made of Bentheimer sandstone in the 13th century ["Ältestes Stück in der Kirche ist der spätromanische Taufstein aus Bentheimer Sandstein (Bentheimer Typ) aus dem 13. Jahrhundert"].
