Font Notes: Click to view font notes

Eyck (1846) notes and illustrates the remaining fragment of an early font, a round pedestal base with a part of what appears to have been a round, perhaps hemispherical basin. By the time of Ligtenberg's article in 1915 all that was left is a small fragment in the former cemetery [="Te Beeckbergen noog een kelin stuk op het vroegere kerkhof"], which must be the same fragment shown in a 1970 B&W photograph in the CODA Archives [ref.: P-001093]. The fragment, mostly the stem of the old font, is still outside the church in April 2016 [cf. ImagesArea].
