Noted and illustrated in Ludorf (1914). Listed in Ligtenberg (1915). In Drake (2002) as a Bentheim font of the Group A2, the 'modified cylinder'.The basin is roughly cylindrical, with a broad double-rope moulding or braid followed down by an arcade of blind round arches on short plain columns, and a single rope moulding below; the upper rim of the basin has several holes drilled in it, probably for anchorings of an old font cover; on a circular pedestal base with mouldings at top and bottom. No cover present. An article by Peter Beckmann in the 18 July 2014 issue of the Westfälische Nachrichten [www.wn.de/Muensterland/Kreis-Steinfurt/Greven/1657563-Taufkapelle-in-Gimbte-neu-gestaltet-Man-haelt-foermlich-die-Luft-an] [accessed 9 February 2016] informs on the recent restoration of the font and its installation in the renovated baptismal chapel of this church. The font apparently had a cover prior to this restoration [cf. Images area]. On-site notes: the inner basin has a non-removable glass and metal insert now; the exterior appears to have been drastically re-tooled.
