Workshop/Group/Artisan: Bentheim font?
Ortt van Schonauwen (1858) writes of a font that was caught in a fisherman's nets in 1772 near Urk, not far from where the original churchyard of Urk was until it was submerged in the sea; the font stood until 1825 at the cemetery at Emmeloord until a Roman Catholic priest [Joannes Bosch?] bought it and took it to the R.C. church at Emmeloord. Van Ortt (ibid.) describes the font as being made of Bentheim stone, an octagomal basin on a base of the same shape; the R.C. priest had it restored and had his name and the date 1826 engraved on the rim of the font. Van Schonauwen (ibid.) appears to indicate that at the time of his visit [ca. 1858?] the restored font was still at the Roman Catholic church. [NB: we have no recent confirmation of the survival or whereabouts of this font]. The baptismal font from the disappeared church at Emmeloord may have been moved to the old church at Ens before that church was abandoned in the mid-19th century [cf. Index entry for Ens No. 2]
