Font Notes:
Schulte (1986) [www.dbnl.org/tekst/schu211land02_01/schu211land02_01_0011.php] [accessed 22 December 2015] reports a badly eroded fragment of a sandstone font as having found buried in the nave, near the chancel; no other particulars given of this fragment. [NB: a May 1974 photograph [cf. Images Area] shows a round block of stone in what was the nave of the medieval church; is this the fragment of sandstone font referred to in Schilte above?] A communication from Pol Herman to BSI (e-mail of 8 January 2022) informs: "this is a fragment of a badly weathered sandstone basin. It is outside, in the demolished nave of the church. No further information found".
Credit and Acknowledgements: We are grateful to Pol Herman for his help in documenting this fragment
