Font mentioned in Drake (2002), who 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 Funix [...] and Dunum". A holy-water stoup in this church may be also medieval.
