Reported in De Hervormde Gemeente van Hien en Dodewaard [www.hervormddodewaard.nl/historie] [accessed 26 December 2015] as a fragment of the base of a font or stoup found in the churchyard, 70 cm high and probably 16th-century; it is the lower part of an octagonal pedestal decorated with a moulding, and with the breach stops that make the lower base square, typical of late medieval fonts in the area; this same source notes that the fragment was planned to be incorporated into a reconstructed font in the restoration of the church in the 1980s [NB; not known whether or not the plan was carried out].
