The present font in this church is modern, made of granite and silver [NB: the surviving medieval basin now in the ruins of Hamar cathedral is claimed to be originally from Ottestad; the church at Ottestad, however, was built in 1731, and we have not found a record of an earlier church here, although the altar, for instance, is dated 1600 in the sources].
