Font Notes:
De Oosterhoek [www.oosterhoek.com/Kerken/images/Heveskes/bestemming/kerk Heveskes bestemming.html] [accessed 1 December 2015] reports that the old 12th-century or ca.1200 stone font from the church at Heveskes has been moved to to the church at Termunten [="Het doopvont (ca. twaalfde eeuw of rond 1200), oorspronkelijk uit de kerk van Heveskes is geplaatst in de Ned. Herv. Kerk van Termunten."]. This same source has additional information cited from Uit Groninger Kerken,nr.4 oktober 2006: the remains of a badly damaged basin were unearthed ca. 1890, the basin used subsequently as a water trough in a farm; the wear on the broken parts may indicate its use as a grindstone. The Parish Church at Termunten [www.kerktermunten.nl/doopvont.htm] [accessed 1 December 2015] notes and illustrates the old Heveskes font inside the church and returned to its used for baptisms; the badly eroded font, identified in the source [cf. infra] as being made of Bentheim sandstone ca.1200, has been fitted with a shell-shaped metal bowl made in 1969 by G. Piek ["=In de liturgische ruimte voor de kansel staat een zwaar beschadigde romaanse doopvont van Bentheimer zandsteen. Het is niet meer na te gaan of er dierfiguren of mensfiguren als dragers op de vier hoeken van de kuip hebben gestaan. Zichtbaar is nog wel dat het onderste deel van de kuip bestond uit een rij rondbogen. Het bovenste deel is nagenoeg verdwenen. In de zwaar beschadigde kuip is voor het doopwater een bronzen bekken geplaatst in de vorm van een schelp. Deze werd in 1969 vervaardigd door G. Piek (zie onder). Van Deijk dateert de doopvont op grond van de versiering met rondbogen omstreeks 1200. De vont is afkomstig uit de kerk van Heveskes. Na de Reformatie werd hij daar uit de kerk verwijderd en begraven. Omstreeks 1880 werd de doopvont teruggevonden."]
