Noted in Ludorf (1914). In Ligtenberg (1915) after Ludorf. 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. Baptismal font consisting of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with a braid just below the upper rim, with an arcade of round blind arches on short columns below [one (?) of the arches rests on a double colum]; the columns are plain and they have neither capitals nor bases; a rope moulding and two round mouldings decorate the lower part of the basin; circular stem tapering to a wider lower base, round with graded mouldings. The font appears monolithic, despite the apparent division into three well-defined volumes, and has been drastically restored and re-tooled [NB: the lower base appears modern]. The modern font cover is a polygonal pyramid with metal decoration and a running inscription in Latin related to the cleansing power of baptismal waters.
