Drake (2002) writes: "There are three fonts which slight vertical articulations in the manner of Vledder and Apeldoorn, the lower half cut back to provide the appearance of a massive central shaft flanked by four engaged colonnettes. These are Fulkum and Fu[n]nix [...] and Dunum". A holy-water stoup inside this church may also be medieval.
