The Dutch Monumentregister [http://monumentenregister.cultureelerfgoed.nl/] [accessed 6 February 2016] reports a Romanesque baptismal font in this church. The baptismal font consists of an octagonal basin with a rounded underbowl, decorated with four human heads at 90-degree angles of the upper basin sides; it is raised on a plain octagonal pedestal base and an octagonal-to-square lower base; the basin is medieval but the two parts of the base are modern replacements. Also modern is the metal font cover of conical shape with convex sides and an orb-and-cross finial. A Romanesque(?) baptismal font originally from Herne but moved to the church in Gergharen is noted and illustrated in Jan van Gelder's Historisch monument in Bergharens St. Annakerk, in TWEESTROMENLAND MAAS EN WAALS TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR STREEKGESCHIEDENIS 20.111.1995 -verschijnt ten minste vier maal per jaar - NUMMER 83 (1995, p. 12-14) [bergharen.pdf] [accessed 13 March 2022]. The present baptismal at Hernen, like the new church itself, is modern [cf. ImagesAreA] A communication from Pol Herman to BSI (e-mail of 11 March 2022) informs: "The fragments of the broken basin were found in the cellars of the castle of Hernen in 1925."
